A Phylloscopus warbler showing characters of Bonelli's Warbler was with the Long-tailed Tit flock on the fence on the north side of Ranch Pond. Consistently looked larger than accompanying Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs; whiter underneath though not startlingly so; front-heavy structure similar to Wood Warbler but no obviously discernible face-pattern; green on wings but rump not seen and no calls heard. Has been in the area for at least 3 days but closer views needed to eliminate the possibility of a hybrid or attempt specific identification.
