CHIFFCHAFF

A Chiffchaff was foraging in Beech/Leylandii hedging in the garden here near Llanilar today. Not calling, so I suspect its an over winterer rather than a new arrival.
3 Greenfinch yesterday, they seem to be scarce in this neck of the woods to me, is that right?

(Watched a couple of singing Chiffchaffs at Kidwelly last week and assumed they were wintering birds.  Richard Dobbins reports a couple of Sand Martins at the Teifi estuary today!  JAD)
