Garden Warbler

Woodside babbler, could-be-a-blackcap

Imagine being told that your only distinguishing visual feature is that you have no distinguishing visual features. Hurtful stuff.

But it’s quite a useful guide when applied to the garden warbler. On first look they appear to be an unfinished model of ‘generic bird’, to which interesting eye stripes, wing bars and a dash of colour are yet to be applied.
