chiffchaff

In the north of England, as it is in the south, the Chiffchaff is perhaps the most constant pioneer of the spring migrants.

Chiffchaff and willow-wren came as usual, but they did not arrive in a crowd at once.

Only a very few days since—it does not seem a week—there was a chiffchaff calling in a copse as merrily as in the spring.

This name, however, is probably equally applicable to the Chiffchaff.
