Canary Islands Chiffchaff

• It was recognised as a species of its own in the 1990s on the basis of its song: while the European common chiffchaff repeats a monotonous chiff-chaff, the Canarian bird gives a much richer and more varied phrase.
• The subspecies of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura became extinct in the twentieth century, probably through the loss of the vegetation of those islands: today the species survives only on the western islands.
