Siberian Chiffchaff at Edison rd, Hams Hall, Warwickshire

 Nice relaxing weekend stayed local we went to check out Bubbenhall landfill site was no rarer gulls there, but got lovely views of a Buzzard and also heard a Raven but never saw it, we then went onto to Edison rd, Hams Hall in Warwickshire, there was two Siberian Chiffchaff's present showing very well, was lovely photographing them, such lovely little birds I find them so interesting looking at the differences from common Chiffchaff, we then walked round to Ladywalk there was a third Chiffchaff there Dave heard it call and we saw it briefly.
Watching them you notice that they don't interact with common Chiffchaff at all, I think they should defiantly be recognized as a separate species.
Also got a few picks of some other birds :)

Ladywalk Reserve - November 26 th


We visited Ladywalk in the West Midlands to check out the feeding station there, I was getting excited over the Redpoll's, when the amazing birdwatcher Dave Hutton suddenly goes silent you know his seen or heard something lol he say's Siberian Chiffchaff and then it appeared by the stream, such clear views through bins stunning little bird and im just a beginner but I could clearly tell it looked very different from common chiffchaff, so much paler and the sound very different and distinctive.
Wasn't able to get a photo but the image will be in head forever.
Managed to get a photo of the Repoll not very clear also a great spotted woodpecker on feeder.
