Warbler 1 Two-barred Greenish
2: Yellow-streaked
3: Perhaps Hume's (mandelli) but too far away to be sure
4: Chinese Leaf
5: not sure, perhaps Dusky
6: Buff-barred
7: Buff-barred
8: Large-billed Leaf

All of these warblers are easily identified if they are singing! Phylloscopus (and Seicercus) are classic examples of species where ID by a combination of plumage features and song is almost always diagnostic.

Mike, many thx. We did not do any homework about bird calls. Now we know something.

Thanks again

warbler 5 has quite strong and bright orange leg, I think Yellow Streaked would fit better.

Hi Jonathan

On looking again, I agree - Yellow-streaked for No. 5.

Cheers

Mike
