Heard frequently in last couple of days - it's familiar but I can't put a name to it - help!
Sorry about link - couldn't get "embed" to work so this takes you to photobucket |

This is one of "those" calls I always forget and have to learn each week. It is chiffchaff, willow warbler, or redstart.

Usually hear the instantly recognisable call of a chiffchaff frequently during the Summer months here but not heard it at all this year. Have spotted a willow warbler so perhaps it was that. Never seen a redstart but that's not to say they are not in the wooded areas around us which was where the sound was coming from.

This is what the call of a chiffchaff sounds like, but it is slightly more drawn out so maybe redstart or willow warbler is a good bet. Not to be confused with the song which is what the chiffchaff is known for.

Well I never knew that - still learning. The call is certainly familiar - just couldn't place it.
