JDog Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 My guess is a Chiffchaff. They have been arriving in the UK for three weeks now. Willow warblers arrive mid April in most parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both described as summer visitors this is the picture from the book it looks almost identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
