Chiffchaff
Chiffchaffs have been in abundance of late. One of the first birds I notice on their return journey here for the summer. It's a welcome sound on a warm spring day. The first one always make me smile with joy and signals to me that the long dark nights of winter are behind us and that the summer is coming. Better than that, all the other migrants are on their way too.

ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and it's nice to see the buds and new leaves on the trees! Spring is here! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's great to hear that "chiff-chaff, chiff-chaff" coming from the trees. Not always easy to see or to photograph one though.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous, as always. That first image of it in flight is absolutely incredible Adam.

ReplyDeleteAn enchanting little bird to be sure, and as you say, especially welcome as a true harbinger of spring, with only good things to follow.
