Chiffchaff

The beautiful spring weather continues, though rain is forecast for the day after tomorrow.
I sat this morning on the slopes of North Downs and watched a female chiffchaff tugging at a piece of grass which it then flew off with to the nearby bushes. I knew that this was a female as the male was declaiming his territory near the top of one of the bushes.
I have also seen redpolls nest building, so the breeding season appears now to be in full swing.
