Thread Name: BS: bull finches and spring
Subject: RE: BS: bull finches and spring
I have a question about birds in spring. Donovan's song "Lullaby in Spring," which I love, has this segment:

Chiffchaff eggs are painted by
A mother bird eating berries.

I've wondered about "chiffchaff eggs." Could that be a reference to chaffinches?
