| Comments : | Siberian-type Chiffchaff present at Kilbogget Park wetland since 29th December 2016 (seen yesterday and today also). Best looked for around the small reedbed and treeline opposite it. Has been heard to give soft, quiet 'hweet' calls (although not as loud or as emphatic on the second syllable as a normal collybita call). Good photographs and sound recordings of this bird would be most welcome. |
