Originally posted by Chris Mak Usually I know my way around recognizing species, but this one I am not sure of.
Is it a Nightingale, or another, unknown to me bird?
Sadly, my K3II focussed on the tale instead of the eye in the second shot, while I am pretty sure I had the focus point on the eye...
Ah well, it's more about knowing what this bird is....
I think it's one of the Sylviid warblers, but I'm not sure which -- the leg colour and bill length don't seem to match. Perhaps one of the
Acrocephalus (reed or marsh warbler) or
Locustella (Savi warbler).
Edit:
On second thought, I think it's a garden warbler (
Sylvia borin). The bill and legs match. I had the right family, but the wrong genera.
