    A good way to attract chiffchaffs is to have a garden full of black fly! At least two of them have spent all day here, incl a young looking one. Certainly helping keep the runner beans pest free.

    Natures insecticide, perfect natural pest control.

  • Yep, and they're here days later. Mind you, chiffchaff population is booming these days. Bizarre to see them as more of a garden bird here now than chaffinch and greenfinch (though they, esp green have been around in prev months in small numbers unlike prev years).
