CHIFFCHAFF-BLASHFORD LAKES-APRIL 2011

The Chiffchaff is a summer visitor to the UK. It is very similar to the Willow and Wood Warblers and distinguished by its song. One of the first spring arrivals and is widespread throughout the UK. Early season is the best time to see this small bird before the trees,shrubs and bushes become covered foliage. An active bird which is a challenge to photograph. I am still waiting to get a good clen shot of this bird.
