There was also quite a bit of noise from Blue Tits and Long Tailed Tits but I managed to get my camera on this little brown job. A <s>Sedge Warbler<\/s>. Chiffchaff. It looked as though there were at least 2 flitting around but with the other little birds around it was difficult for me to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks Steve for telling me that they are Chiffchaff and not Sedge Warblers. And now I have looked back at previous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/pond-in-autumn\/\">Sedge Warblers<\/a> I have seen it is obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are not brilliant shots
