I was out looking for Goldcrest today with no luck but while scanning some brambles surrounding a tree i saw a small bird moving about at great speed. When i managed to see it properly i saw it wasnt a goldcrest and made the assumption of chiff chaff.
It was moving silly fast and not stopping in one place at all.
It would hop around in the brambles before darting up to the tree where it would land before immediately dropping down into the brambles.
It was sunny but quite windy ( not sure if that would effect the actions of the bird)
The worst part is these images may well be of two different birds as i struggled to keep track of where it was and i am convinced a second bird did appear.
As title says it probaby is a CC however the there seems to be a bit too much colour in the bird and it just has me all a bit confused so any comments much appreciated.
Sorry about the images but like i said this bird would not stay still

Agreed. Often find when we get 2 Chiffs in the garden they sooner or later end up chasing each other and it then becomes dificult to know how many there are.
