Milton Chiffchaff

A chiffchaff was singing in a tall ash tree by Milton Waterworks just now. There have been sightings of wintering chiffchaff along here (Firecrest Alley) by Craig Lewis and Mike Davey, I saw one yesterday knocking about with goldcrests along the stream. So (thinking of Rosemary's recent post) I'm guessing this is a bird that has been wintering here.

Meanwhile the firecrests have taken to flycatching over the stream when the sun's out. Great views in last couple of days, brief glimpse this morning
