Wild birds in Tenerife - please help me identify
Right a drop in clarity of photos as wild things move quick and as I didn't know the Spanish for - 'can you hold on a moment while I try and find my camera please' they had by and large gone when I got back
Now I know I have a collared dove
and some sort of Sparrow here, I THINK its a grey wagtail but not sure. Moorhen with chick...
The little grey bird in the tree is the same one on the arial it made the most beautiful song and was flitting around us all holiday - it was teeny smaller than a coal tit - not sure if its some sort of warbler or even an iberian chiff chaff as they make a different noise to ours apparently - anyway would love to know.
The yellow one flew to the top of a tree when we were watching the dolphin show and was taken from about 200m away, it was completely hidden behind the focussing dot through the viewfinder - probably some sort of finch
And the black capped guy - again not sure
any help most welcome

The first bird looks like a Berthelot Pipit.

OK I reckon we have a Canary island Kinglet there as the little bird. The Pipit as Issy said. And for all the world the yellow one looks like an Atlantic Canary. The sparrow is a canary islands sparrow and blue tits we saw were also a sub species as well
is the black cap a blackcap?
