    Default Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler ?

    I captured this little chap this morning, Thought it was a Goldcrest it was so small but it's too early for Willow warblers
    It's probably a Chiffchaff but the thing that throws me out a bit is that it has light brown legs.

    Hmm, unfortunately the differences between the two are difficult to spot and I'm not convinced from the photo that the legs are light in colour. Probably a Chiffchaff.

    Yes most likely is a Chiffchaff. It's too early I think for W. Warbler . Just wanted a second opinion really . Thanks \Rolf I'm sure you're right
