puff puff on a chiffchaff
Those with a penchant for a certain space-rock ensemble will be in awe at that post title. The rest of you? Don't worry about it. Seriously.
Anyway - yesterday - patch - birds...
Kingfisher kicking about the Wandle delta
4 Gadwall (two pairs)
Half dozen Tufties
Grey Wagtail pair
8 Coots (one pair nesting, natch)
Moorhen sitting on nest (probably too low, as it was last year)
Egyptian, Canada and Greylag Geese
Gulls - but not many
Finally - a singing Chiffchaff. That is a rare patch event! Most of the Chiffchaffs round here are winter visitors (although 2009/10 was poor), and a singing bird is special. And a patch year tick.
Chiffchaff - 56 for the year, second warbler in two days - well worth sparking the pipe up methinks...

He's awfully clean-cut isn't he.
