They went without me!

Surprised to see this wee chappie perched outside the back the other day when he should be down in Africa or at least the south Mediterranean. He is a Chiffchaff so named by its song. It’s a warbler that feeds on insects out of the air. I guess the mild autumn weather has kept him around this late. But not for long with the threat of frost and few flying insects around. It is amazing that this little srcap of bone and feather can fly to the west coast of Africa – and return again next Spring. I certainly couldn't walk that far :)
