Two weeks after the first chiffchaffs arrived, the willow warblers are in from southern Africa. The chiffchaffs fill the gardens in the town and the trees on the very edge of the moor. The willow warblers prefer the higher slopes of the moor, before the trees (primarily birch, rowan, hawthorn, willow, holly, yew) run out. They like a few trees to sing from but usually nest on the ground.
