That’s really interesting Barrie, I had a very similar bird near my garden back home in Durham in autumn 2020. It gave several rather ‘straight’ calls but since I’ve never seen/heard tristis-type chiffchaffs before, I could never be 100% sure. I’m aware there’s considerable numbers wintering in the UK now, but I’m not sure what (if anything) clinches the ID. Anyone know?
