I was watching a pair of robins when I heard a little chiff... chaff... chiff. chaff... so looked up to see a Chiffchaff high in one of the trees, fluttering around and pecking at buds. It moved down the trees and ended up in a shrub in front of me, only about 10 feet away and making lots of chiff-chaffing and zweeei-ings. It sat there for quite a few minutes and in my binoculars it nearly filled the view and was a gorgeous little thing - have never had such a wonderful view of one. Absolutely superb! :king:</p></blockquote><p></p>
