Your photos of the chiffchaff are great: does it take a long time to find the bird and get a good picture? Especially a bird that seems to be constantly moving around.
Sorry I have taken a while to answere your question. I have been birding in Norfolk.You were right about the chiffchaff in area 31. Digiscoping with my set up takes a bit of patience, but if you find that the bird has a routine it makes life a little easier.
If you are interested, I am fairly confident I saw a whitethroat near area 29 on Sunday morning. Came out of the undergrowth and pecked around same low bushes before flying away. (I also got my first view of a blackcap in 2006. It sang for quite a while). I did Minsmere on Saturday: 6 new birds!
