More photos of the pale Chiffchaff at Barrow sewage work
Here is a few photos of the pale Chiffchaff at Barrow sewage works I took on the 27th February 2013. "Sibe Chiffchaff" anyone?!?...
Indiana Dave and the quest for Derbyshire Orchids 6th June 2008.
Burnt tip Orchid Fly Orchid Frog Orchid As I had the week off from University and work commitments, I made a quick trip to Derbyshire to check out a number of Orchid sites. Parking my car not far from the first site near Cromford I was soon climbing the steep hillside to get into the quarry. In the quarry bottom, I found straight the way a good number of Fly and Frog Orchids . Counting the Orchids there must have been thirty Frog Orchids in a small area of the quarry bottom and at least forty Fly Orchids in the surrounding area. As you would expect I took a good number of photos of these good looking Orchids. Although this trip was to look for Orchids, I did note that the quarry had three singing Redstarts, which would have been fantastic for my home county of Leicestershire! Moving up to the higher section of the quarry I found another twenty Fly Orchids, five Frog Orchids and a couple of Common Twayblades. Driving up the hill from the last site, I reached the next site within minut

Are you sure that all sets of photos are of the same bird...?
Last couple of sets look quite good for tristis....but the first set of pix...?
If they are all of the same bird then it highlights 'morphing' to a high degree...!
Most folks will probably not comment as to a definite ID as photos are..[or can be]...very misleading...'lighting' etc
Would need to see the bird in the field to come to any firm-ish conclusions...
What have 'leading experts' had to say...?
I have spoken to a well known birder who said it looked good for Sibe Chiffy and everybody who has seen it have come to the same conclusion!
If you want directions to the site let us know?
