A Chiffchaff in the front garden!?!
We get them in the trees out back, but I've never seen them in our front garden -
especially not using the bird baths and playing in the Hawthorn. So cool!

Uh oh....
A house nearby was sold recently and they completely decimated the front garden.
I'm guessing this little one was living there and has been disturbed because although I
feed the birds, rats are something we never see. I've not even seen the field mice for months.
Now, I personally don't mind because like many other unloved species, they are wrongly villainised.
However, if they are seen I'm sure neighbours will kick up a fuss or put down traps
and I don't want that. Poor little thing.
