A lovely picture Beryl.

I do struggle rather with CC's and WW's and am only sure if I hear them call. But I didn't think WW's were here in the winter, whereas Chiffchaffs are. Though I suppose you may get some down south.

I'll sit on the fence

Lol. I do too.
The Chiffchaff has a black stripe through his eye as well as the yellow one.

As I had just taken nearly 200 shots of a blackcap I thought it was the
female but now I'm not so sure

I think the feet are the wrong colour for a WW maybe a more expert member can help?


Thank you kindly for your comment Delia |=)|

Yep.Of course. The black legs.
I was looking at the feet. Ha ha. I didn't think it was a WW as we don't get that many down here any how.
Thank you so much Sue & Simon |=)|.
I will amend the title.
