"Missed the Bittern by half an hour, would have been a good one for NYD, 8 Snipe on the spit, 4 Wigeon, Willow Tit Bunting Hide with a Water Rail (presume these are so common they are not worthy of being mentioned), CHIFFCHAFF was seen by someone else near the Bunting Hide, might have been Peter Alker."
Next!!!!!

Post your entries here for the first chiffchaff of 2010.
Winners could win the prestigious prize of Manchester Birdings top regional chiffchaffer.
Once we have chiffchaffed out please feel free to post first blackcap, sedge warbler, reed warbler, willow etc.
I went out today hoping to steal a lead but failed miserably.
