Chiffchaff; Mosquitero Común

Phylloscopus collybita

Description:

There are two ways to tell a Chiffchaff from the other similar warblers, 1, they constantly flick their tails and 2, their folded wing feathers are very close together and further away from the tail tip. In spring and summer they can be told by their song but in winter they are quiet.

Habitat:

Coastal marshes
