You would be lucky if you spot the Common Chiffchaff in these regions. It is a small inconspicuous bird, smaller than the sparrow, and is largely unnoticed as it moves through the trees. It is not as common as the name suggests.
Its brown head and upper body parts and wings provide a perfect camouflage. The chest parts are dull white with black beak and legs. It has a grayish streak running over its eyes.
