First Chiffchaff pic of the year for me today at Haybridge, buried deep in the blackthorn.

@BertSgroggins Lovely little fellow! Did you know in German we call it "Zilp-Zalp"? Yes, it is onomatopoetic of his song like in English.
@studiolo_rb Yes I know the "Zilp-Zalp" German name. Although even with hearing aids I was unable to hear its call, I have to rely on the Merlin app to alert me as to what is about, but no idea of which direction they are in.
