Hi everyone. Need some help with IDs for these two birds. The first three are of a very small bird. In fact, at first I thought it was a hummingbird because it was feeding on flowers just like a hummer and is maybe slightly bigger than a typical hummer. The next bird (last photo) is a larger bird, about the size of an American Robin.

Sorry for the quality. These were taken with a Sigma 17-70mm lens at 70mm and are all almost 100% crops.

These birds were in Cadiz, Spain.

Not familiar with either one, but they're neat looking birds.

Thank you so much, Richard. I don't know much about North American birds, much less European birds.

The Subalpine Warbler was fascinating. Very quick and very small. And, as I noted, at first I thought it was a hummingbird because it appeared to be feeding on flower nectar.
