	Auk, The: Fat storage in male Willow Warblers in spring: Do residents arrive lean or fat?
		The Willow Warbler is a long-distance migrant; birds that breed in northern Europe spend the winter in tropical Africa, some of them as far south as South Africa (Hedenstrom and Pettersson 1987).
		Most of the Willow Warblers that we trapped probably were on temporary stopover during migration to breeding areas farther north.
		A migrating Willow Warbler should, according to Pennycuick's program 1 (1989), use about 0.8 g of fat during a still-air flight of 350 km, which is a reasonable distance for a small passerine to cover during one night.

		During USFWS surveys, reed warblers were found to forage primarily in dense brushy or grassy vegetation near the ground, in freshly mowed grass of the antenna field on Moen, and in the upper canopy as well (05,06).
		Though most reed warbler populations are partial to vegetation near wetlands, the species occupies most types of second growth forest, mixed grass and brush lands, and gardens.
		On a recent visit to Pagan, no reed warblers were found and the birds preferred wetland habitat was found to be destroyed by the grazing of introduced ungulates and a recent volcanic eruption (19).

		The recent purple patch continued today when an Eastern Olivaceous Warbler was trapped and ringed in the Obs garden during the morning (biometry and more in-hand photos); it was released into the Obs Quarry where it eventually showed well for a while in the early evening.
		Commoner migrants included 30 Willow Warblers, 15 Wheatears, 15 Yellow Wagtails, 6 Common Sandpipers, 6 Whinchats, a Whimbrel, a Reed Warbler, a Garden Warbler and a Pied Flycatcher at the Bill, whilst further Pied Flycatchers were at Southwell (3) and Reap Lane.
		Willow Warblers continued to feature, with more than 40 at the Bill, but other migrants were thin on the ground; the Bill area otherwise produced just 5 Wheatears, a Ringed Plover, a Whimbrel, a Sedge Warbler and a trickle of Sand Martins and Swallows leaving to the south.

	BTO - Migration Watch - Focus on Willow Warbler
		Willow Warblers are small yellow-olive coloured warblers that look very much like Chiffchaffs. Fortunately, Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs have very different songs that can be readily identified. Willow Warblers often show a yellower throat, breast and supercilium than Chiffchaff. Willow Warblers are about the size of Blue Tits but have a much sleeker appearance.
		Detailed information on Willow Warbler population trends and breeding success is given on the Wider Countryside Report web pages.
		Male Willow Warblers arrive ahead of the females to set up territories and are generally recorded from mid-March onwards. Peak arrivals tend to occur in late April or early May. Information from bird observatories suggests that most Willow Warblers arrive on the south and south-west coasts rather than on the east coast.
