Near Huétor Tajar, Granada Province, Spain.

In the garden again.

Common Chiffchaff (Mosquitero Común / Phylloscopus collybita).
Into week three of a real Lockdown and Granada Province is in full lockdown so we have to stay home except of essentials movements, so it was birding in the garden again today.
