Siberian Chiffchaff 210309

Click here to listen a sequence of the bird singing and here to listen to a few faint calls before the bird sings again. We were much more interested in getting some sound recordings than photographing the bird but the photos below give the general idea of what it looked like. It's already well into its pre-breeding moult and so looks particularly scruffy with, for example, old feathers dropped and new feathers variously almost grown or still in pin.
