An amazing find, especially this far inland, and at this time of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Also a Siberian Chiffchaff (<em>tristis<\/em>) showed in the nearby hedges, along with a few Common Chiffchaff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I can remember the late Martin Garner telling me that one of the best ID features of Siberian Chiffchaff are the &#8220;tobacco&#8221; coloured ear coverts. How right he was, except on this scruffy individual, they&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; were difficult to pick out. Apparently <em>tristis<\/em> Chiffchaffs moult at a different time of the year to Common Chiffchaff. This is why this bird looks so scruffy, due to its moult, whereas the Common Chiffies were looking so smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Pallass-Warbler-_43A8446.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pallas&#8217;s Warbler &#8211;
