Description
The common Chiffchaff is a small warbler known for its distinctive "chiff-chaff" call. It can be found in woodlands, gardens, and parks throughout Europe and Asia. It feeds on small insects, spiders and other invertebrates, which it catches by gleaning from leaves and branches. In the breeding season, males will sing to attract females and defend their territories.

Feeding Habits
Common Chiffchaff primarily feed on insects, particularly flies from over 50 families, and other invertebrates. They forage actively, hovering and moving through foliage and also consume eggs and larvae of butterflies and moths, especially those of the winter moth.
Habitat
Common Chiffchaff breeds in open woodlands with a preference for taller trees and ground cover. These birds inhabit diverse environments ranging from lowland deciduous forests and woodland undergrowth areas to human-modified spaces like parks. They favor damp locations near water, such as river valleys with alder and willow trees, and have a notable flexibility in altitude, residing up to 2000 meters in mountain forests. Non-breeding habitats extend to coastal scrubs, reedbeds, and cultivated patches.
