Photo by Steve Young (www.birdsonfilm.com). The Willow Warbler is almost indistinguishable from the Chiffchaff. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. This tiny warbler has greenish-brown upper parts, buff underparts and with a pale stripe above the eye. I found this old video on YouTube by the BTO than confirms the comments from Robbo that they are chiffchaffs.

It is positioned on or near the ground hidden in vegetation.

Juvenile willow warblers have pale yellow superciliums and pale yellow on the upperparts, their chins are paler and the breast is pale buff. Connecticut Warbler (the only remaining Oporornis “survivor”) is a lot less common and we have yet to capture a juvenile for comparison, but it could pose an identification challenge. I spotted three young birds in an elderberry/hawthorn clump at the end of a hedge, where I had seen adult willow warblers in early May, and hope that these may be their offspring.

Several of the 'wee beasties' were in evidence at the time, all of which were during their damnedest to avoid being seen, let alone photographed, in the lush foliage.

The nest is ball-shaped constructed from dry grass, leaves, roots, moss, animal hair and feathers. Bright autumn birds can invoke thoughts of Wood Warbler.

In the UK, warblers can be separated into several groups – leaf warblers (slender, greenish birds of woodland and scrub, with simple soft call notes), reed, bush and grasshopper warblers (browner birds that live in wet places) and the Old World warblers (generally more patterned birds of woods and bushy places with short, hard call notes). Unfortunately not to be. No need to register, buy now!

The bill is pale brown and the legs are dark brown to flesh-coloured.

Juvenile Willow Warbler (Seaforth, Lancashire, 18 September 2008).

This is a green- and yellow-tinged bird, with a thin, long supercilium, a long wing and yellowish legs. Huge collection, amazing choice, 100+ million high quality, affordable RF and RM images. The Willow Warbler is more yellow, has a longer supercilium and often (but not always) has paler legs than the Chiffchaff.

The willow warbler was first scientifically described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1758 under the genus Motacilla.
