Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita
The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.
It is a migratory passerine which winters in southern and western Europe, southern Asia and north Africa. Greenish-brown above and off-white below, it is named onomatopoeically for its simple chiff-chaff song. It has a number of subspecies, some of which are now treated as full species.
This warbler gets its name from its simple distinctive song, a repetitive cheerful chiff-chaff. This song is one of the first avian signs that spring has returned. Its call is a hweet, less disyllabic than the hooeet of the willow warbler or hu-it of the western Bonelli's warbler.
The common chiffchaff breeds across Europe and Asia east to eastern Siberia and north to about 70°N, with isolated populations in northwest Africa, northern and western Turkey and northwestern Iran. It is migratory, but it is one of the first passerine birds to return to its breeding areas in the spring and among the last to leave in late autumn. When breeding, it is a bird of open woodlands with some taller trees and ground cover for nesting purposes. These trees are typically at least 5 metres (16 ft) high, with undergrowth that is an open, poor to medium mix of grasses, bracken, nettles or similar plants. Its breeding habitat is quite specific, and even near relatives do not share it; for example, the willow warbler (P. trochilus) prefers younger trees, while the wood warbler (P. sibilatrix) prefers less undergrowth. In winter, the common chiffchaff uses a wider range of habitats including scrub, and is not so dependent on trees. It is often found near water, unlike the willow warbler which tolerates drier habitats. There is an increasing tendency to winter in western Europe well north of the traditional areas, especially in coastal southern England and the mild urban microclimate of London. These overwintering common chiffchaffs include some visitors of the eastern subspecies abietinus and tristis, so they are certainly not all birds which have bred locally, although some undoubtedly are.

Taken yesterday at RHS Hyde Hall Gardens. Not sure why this little robin was looking a bit worse for wear! Perhaps busy feeding young, or maybe moulting?
Thanks for all the lovely comments and faves on my images - have a good weekend everyone.
A couple of weeks ago the gosling lying down was freed from fishing line. Unfortunately a piece of the line was stuck in his leg. The poor thing was limping and could barely walk.
We were able to catch him en took him to a shelter. Hopefully he'll recover, so he can be reunited with this family.
Fingers crossed.

My dark twist on The Little Mermaid. What if Ariel couldn't get Prince Eric to love her before the 3rd Sunset?
A shot of one of the many large Ponderosa Pines that burned at the base and had to be cut down or simply fell down after the Wildfire went through this area. The red on the rocks in the BG is fire retardant that was dropped from aircraft.
and there it was on my door step after flying into some thing, i held him gently in my hand - think he/she liked the warmth, just gave it a few moments was trying to open his eyes and stretch a wing, found him safe haven in my hedge and sadly had to just hope he made it.
