    Presumed Iberian Chiffchaff - UK

    Presumed Iberian Chiffchaff - UK

    I have 5 hours of recording (peaked at 3 running in parallel) and so far 9 calls - this is the best just after it was released.

    Presumed Iberian Chiffchaff - UK

    Presumed Iberian Chiffchaff - UK

    And a few in the hand photos - I didn't dare hold it long, it was out on its feet and showing stress signs. Before anyone worries, it was batting round the garden like a good 'un afterwards

    Variability in House Sparrows, or could I have breeding female Spanish Sparrow [NW UK]

    Well I have caught another sibling - and this one dropped a couple of feathers while I was taking photos. Similar large bill - its still growing and is 0.3mm under the max allowable for House, it has a well-marked fore-super, much stronger chin patch than its same age House Sp friends, odd...
