2 cy+ Reed Warbler (top) and 2cy+ Garden Warbler. We trap very few adults of these species, and both on the same day was a rare opportunity to show them together. Both are aged as adults by the generally worn plumage, often most pronounced on the tertials but clearly visible also in the primaries. The Garden Warbler has replaced most of the tail apart from the central pair. Rørsanger (øverst) og hagesanger. Begge 2K+.
