Black throated Green Warbler?

[Richard Unsworth]

Hi

Hopefully that ID is correct, black on throat just appearing (juv?)
Captured Savegre Lodge gardens, just grabbed a shot through the foliage:S3:

Sure looks like a Black-throated Green Warbler to me. Not sure it is juvie or an adult starting to molt back into breeding plumage. I'm liking the habitat despite how busy it is...tough lighting conditions though, perhaps some fill would have helped.

Hi Dan

yeah, fill
fell over it on the way to the restaurant, a real grab. Interestingly a fair numbers of other birders failed to see one /;-)

I am really liking this image, esp the habitat and the bird's pose. I think you could do some dodging to this bird and really improve the image.

Thanks Marina, was very opportunistic as I am sure you know how active Warblers can be inside the foliage.
Will have a go as per your suggestion.
