Chaffy

The resident singers have had it their own way but now we wait for the arrival of those from the south. Unless my ears were deceiving me the first of these arrivals was chiff-chaffing away in two places this morning. And it suited the change in temperature despite the mist spoiling the view. The sun ungratefully waited until we had left to show itself.

Our regular Chaffy has been one of the strongest voices around so far. Too brash for some but you can't fault him for cheeriness.


The Robin's has been the sweetest to date, the only one to rival the coming Willow Warblers, Garden Warblers and Blackcaps. He can produce the most pure and refined tones and his phrasing is rarely bettered.
