Another Iberian Chiffchaff was found on the North Wirral coast at the beginning of May and has been present all month. This record is the third for Cheshire and Wirral; the last one was found in Delamere Forest last year. I visited the site today and could hear the bird in full song as soon as I arrived. The bird was favouring an oak tree in a clearing and eventually showed really well.
This was my third Iberian Chiffchaff for Cheshire and Wirral, and another great bird for the Wirral peninsula.
