News: First Chiffchaffs heard

Tuesday 17th March 2020

Andy M reported hearing the first Chiffchaff in the Abingtons this season whilst on a walk along the Old Railway Cutting on Tuesday evening.

It seems the Chiffchaff have again arrived en masse this year, since the next day (18th) Derek T had a clear view of one in his garden, and heard and saw another near the Millennium Bridge.

Last year, one first 'early bird' Chiffchaff was heard singing on 1st March, but they were much more widely heard across the villages in the weeks following 19th March 2019.
