Hello
Today I saw this bird in a bush along the road on the country side, around a kilometre from the nearest forest.. I stopped the car and got this quick shot of it.. I was waiting for it to move, but it didn't and when I drove a bit closer for a better angle, it disappeared into the grass and couldn't locate it again..
My impression at first sight was a Common Chiffchaff, but maybe I'm just missing something obvious... For me the general jizz fits, dark legs, short wings, back and belly colour etc.. I have never seen a Common Chiffchaff at this place before and the time of the year is odd as well..
It's unfortunately the only sharp picture I have...
Can anyone with their experience confirm it's a Common Chiffchaff or something else ?
