Post by: argo12 on May 16, 2020, 12:38:34 PM

Photographed this morning at Westminster Ponds in London.
Black eye-line and yellow breast leads me to Blue-winged Warbler.
Sorry pictures a little busy as was quite aways up the tree.
How did I do?

I am pretty sure not Blue-wing warbler.....unless lighting is reflecting oddly on a female.  Colouring is not right for a male, they are more yellow with distinguishing dark wings and your 1st picture show more a brown/ yellow head. Not sure on species from current shots

Orange-crowned Warbler.  There is even a bit of orange on its crown in the first picture.
