Common in Italy, or atleast Sardinia as I spotted it everywhere. Small passerine, dark brown with a light brown chest area. The same size as a house sparrow. The individual in the front of the picture is a juvenile.

consider adding also this to this mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2505...... and thankyou for having added the other one :D
Looks like the tail is pointing downwards - I go with your ID - good one, thanks! Very cute name for a little bird.
It is a pleasure for us :)
The question about the movement of the tail is because almost every Chiffchaff, move the tail down while they are landed.
Thanks Noe & Pili! I will google it, I think you're right and yes, was a juvenile and an adult. Didn't notice if it moved the tail down..
I think it could be a Common Chiffchaff, (maybe a juvenile), but I am not totally sure. Did it move the tail down?
