Norwich Birder
On my morning dog walk around Shotesham yesterday, I heard and saw an interesting Chiffchaff, with a very "level" call note and an interesting "odd" song. I managed to get a recording this morning, including some very clear song, which to my ear sounds identical to the recording of Sibe Chiff song on the "Sound Approach" CD (disc 2 track 12). It is a very clean brown bird, but I haven't yet managed to get a detailed plumage description.
If anyone is interested in hunting it down, park near the ford on Hollow Lane (close to the pub "The Globe") - the bird has been along the hedgerows along the edge of the common, both sides of the lane.
Must go to work now!

If you see/hear the bird Wednesday morning could you post again, I have the day free and would go and have a look around.
Cheers,
James
