No, this evocative Sunbird shot wasn't taken on Keith's latest exotic holiday but actually from his kitchen window!

Any thoughts on which species? Let us know and we'll post them here.

Probable Iberian Chiffchaff, Codsall, Staffs, 14th May 2001 © Steve Nuttall

" Early Sunday morning I had a wake up call from this particular bird with the windows closed and knew it was something different !! The bird has sung constantly and when trapped on Monday evening, the biometrics were not conclusive, and Iberian Chiffchaff has not been ruled out. A Sonogram is now being sought" Steve Nuttall
