Canary Islands Chiffchaff

Most chiffchaffs on the Canary Islands are a different species (Phylloscopus canariensis) to the one found in mainland Europe. It is characterised by longer markings around the eye, shorter wings and paler legs. Its song is also noticeably different.

 

Common chiffchaffs were also present (song heard) but I wasn't able to photograph one.
