Hiya Phil,
are you certain this is a Chiff Chaff, looks to me like it could be a Willow Warbler. I was photographing them myself this morning and was assured by a lady 'twitcher' that it was indeed a WW in front of me (and she was confirmed correct by my Collins ID book). I could be wrong over yours as I'm not really up on my birds.
All the best
Robert

Great pic and very sharp as has been said. I would prefer the bird with a little more surround myself. No big deal.

I hear their call all the time but they are so damn hard to spot let alone get a awesome shot like this.

Cracker of a image :toast:

Lovely clean image. Minor nit, would like to see a little extra space to the left, but thats a very minor nit...!

Can never seem to get a clear shot at one of these :rolleyes:

Great shot! :toast:

Nice image Phillip, good to see some of the summer birds returning... though its not feeling very summery at the moment... I was out fence building for about 9 hours yesterday!
