Dorset Birdwatcher living near Dorchester.
Iberian Chiffchaff (probably) at Durlston CP, no tail dipping, dark eye stripe, clearly a different call to a Common Chiff sounding in three different phases of call, but no end rattle. Nice chest pattern with some yellow. Very white belly. Dark olive back.
