Above: Walderslade, Kent (05 May 2010)

Below: These images are heavy crops and therefore rather grainy, but show wing detail such as primary spacing and emarginations.

Below: This was the best shot I could get of a Northern Chiffchaff in the Iberian's terriitory. Shot in the same light and with similar camera settings, the comparative dullness, short primary projection and dark leg colour are apparent.
