This afternoon I decided to try my luck in the reed beds near my home. I got bitten to death again by the mossies but managed to photograph a chiffchaff feeding on the aphids in the reeds. I put this picture on the Bird Forum for confirmation and after a lengthy debate, the majority now say not willow warbler but chiffchaff.

Very nice, uncle! How did you learn all the names of these birds? I'm amazed!
I have some good guide books. This one was a bit tricky as I thought it was a chiffchaff at first. I asked advise on the bird forum I'm a member of and they put me right. In fact I'm not as expert as some people.
Edit
It seems I was right all along...................that must be a first.
