I can only apologies for how quiet this blog has been of late. I have had such little time for birding, and even less time for blogging!
Anyway, I thought it was about time I did pull my finger out, so....
Here's a few pictures I took of the grey Chiffchaff I saw in Mike Tyler's hand on Saturday morning at Colyford WTW. There is green in the mantle, which I guess alone would rule out pure/classic tristis? As you can see though, it is a very pale grey bird - the top two photos showing it alongside a collybita shows this well. Also note the lack of any yellow tones on the birds underparts.
What do you think...
