    Is this a brambling? UK

    I thought this was a robin at the bird feeder this morning, then realised it wasn't. Grabbed hasty pics from a distance. Is this a brambling? I've never seen one before. (Berkshire/Hampshire border)

    Chiff Chaff or warbler? UK

    I haven't seen this bird in my garden before. Is it a chiff chaff or a willow/garden warbler? Petite, slim bird darting about on a bush and low wall, very quick, nervous movements, briefly chased a small butterfly, Sorry about the rubbish quality of the photos - v.poor light and bird moving...
