chiffchaff

Feeding on my lawn, very dark bird, gloomy light but different to the others that have passed through recently

Going by the missing tail, this one may of had a lucky escape.

With all the snow earlier in the week, what better time for migrants to start arriving. This chiffchaff has been around my garden for a couple of days but today was the first sunshine of the week.

Well Peeps, Its post and run for me this morning ( weather permitting). I'm off to Rye Harbour with BF's Mick Harris, if its not too foggy...So, see y'all later.

This juvenile Chiffchaff, with its two siblings, was waiting to be fed by its parent.

Peeps, It was mostly wet, dark, windy, and miserable weather here in Norfolk yesterday, and its been the same today so far. If it does brighten up, I will get me hide out and try for a few shots. Theres been a lot of activity around the feeders here, with Great, Blue, Coal, and Long-tailed Tits...

This shot was taken from a bird hide in the "Lost Garden's of Heligan" in Cornwall......believe it's a Chiffchaff, dark legs!!

As I said in my previous upload; not many small birds about at the Reservoirs yesterday, but I did find a bush full of Willow Warblers. Well, there was lots of Warblers all singing (and squabbling), and the song was a Willow Warblers' song. So I uploaded a few pics to the ID forum; guess what...

thanks everyone for id

Chiffchaff on flower heads

Well Peeps, We finally made it home from Devon yesterday evening, after seven and a half hours on 5 different trains, and 2 taxis. We had a great time in Devon, and it was good to see the grandkids. The weather was wet and overcast for most of our stay, so not as many bird pics as I would have...
