Singing Chiffchaff

This morning listened to Bill Oddie on the BBC with 'Tweet of the Day': a chiffchaff. Later went to the Castle Lake and heard my first chiffchaff of the year. Bill described it as his herald of spring. Unlike the blackcap I heard the other day, this bird must be a genuine spring migrant.
Six shovellers and great crested grebe were others amongst common water birds on the lake.
