Theres variations in ALL of nature, maybe small , but you will always find them at some point.

Discription, well from what fleeting views I have had of this little sweetie, it is a greenish, brown on top and a pale yellowish colour underneath, with a fairly distinguished stripe following from the beak. As for leg colour, I haven't seen them, I will try to take a photo, but as said before it is so fast it is hard to catch it on film. The beak is not unlike a robins.
I know that this is a tad vague but hope this wil help slightly, I will try to look at the legs next time it comes in (if it comes back).
Thank you all for your help in trying to solve this for me.

Chiffchaff nearly always have dark legs. I don't recall ever seeing a Chiffchaff with pale legs - you? Iberian chiffchaff can sometimes show slightly paler brown legs but never the orangey/pinky tones of a WW. (Although I think we can probably rule out a Mediterranean Chiffy. But you're right - variations in all nature, including albinism, leucism, hybridisation etc etc
Description, including behaviour makes Chiffchaff very likely. |
