The Chiffchaff: Close Up HD Footage (Phylloscopus collybita)

The Chiffchaff is a modest little warbler that's one of the first migrants we see back in spring. These brown birds, smaller than a sparrow, are pretty drab apart from their black legs and eye-stripes. But you'll easily hear the males singing their simple chiff-chaff song to let other Chiffchaffs know they're around. They fly here from southern Europe and north Africa in March to nest in shrubbery and hedgerows across the UK. Chiffchaffs eat little insects they find amongst the leaves. Though well camouflaged, their loud repetitive voices make them noticeable in parks and gardens nationwide.
