Phylloscopus canariensis
The Canary Islands chiffchaff is a species of leaf warbler endemic to the Canary Islands, Spain. Previously the Canary Island chiffchaff was considered as a subspecies of the common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita). Now it is recognised as a separate species under the name Phylloscopus canariensis. It is smaller in size, with shorter and rounder wings and the vocalizations are different. It has been confirmed as a different species because of the mtDNA sequence divergence.
Spotted at a small town gardens.
