Chiff-chaff singing near the Stirk Bridge pub at Sowerby Bridge

These are probably chiff-chaffs on passage, but does anyone have any info about the occasional mid-winter Chiffy we see? Are they known to be part of the summer population that fail to migrate, or are they like the winter blackcaps, from a different population?
