Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita)

ANGRY CHIFFCHAFF

 

I was photographing this Chiffchaff from my Landrover and struggling to get a clean shot. All the images had branches in the way.

 

When a second bird came too close and called from the Blackthorn behind my Landrover, he popped up like a cork and adopted this threat position.

 

Making himself look twice his normal size seemed to work. I didn't hear the other bird again.

 

I didn't get anymore shots of this one either. This was my one and only shot of him in the open.
