The Willow Warbler is almost unique amongst birds in that it moults all of its feathers twice in a year, on the breeding grounds and again on the wintering grounds; the reason for this is unclear but may have to to do with the length of the migration (from n Europe to s Africa) line Population and Distribution Population Trend: Wider Countryside Report Regional Trends: Scotland More

Willow Warbler abundance has apparently shown different trends at different UK latitudes. The overall CBC/BBS trend shows a rapid decline during the 1980s and early 1990s, after 20 years of relative stability, and, on the strength of a 31% decline on CBC plots between 1974 and 1999, the species was moved from the green to the amber list. This decline occurred mainly in southern Britain, however, accompanied by a fall in survival rates there (Peach et al. 1995a), with Scottish populations remaining unaffected. More

The Willow Warbler is almost indistinguishable from the Chiffchaff. This tiny warbler has greenish-brown upper parts, buff underparts and with a pale stripe above the eye. The Willow Warbler is more yellow, has a longer supercilium and often (but not always) has paler legs than the Chiffchaff. The bill is pale brown and the legs are dark brown to flesh-coloured. Closer inspection and a keen eye reveal that Willow Warblers also have longer wings and no eye-ring. More
