Manchurian or Black-browed Reed warbler??

Manchurian or Black-browed Reed warbler??

Long Valley. The black above the supercilium doesn't seem too extensive but not too sure on this bird.

Structure, head pattern and pale iris all look good for Manchurian on this bird. Congratulations - you did manage to find one after all!

Thanks, John.  The Mai Po bird was a false alarm.  But happy to see this one later at LV!!

Hi Brendan

It would be interesting to compare this bird with your bird from Mai Po.

The bird at Mai Po I was referring to was this bird.  At the time, I thought it was too small for an Oriental Reed Warbler but now I can't see any reason why it isn't one.
