Great excitement this morning despite the damp weather and flat light. A young willow warbler (?) visit to help hunt the last of the greenfly; the resident blue tit was not amused and soon came to assert his precedence. |

Certainly looks like a Willow Warbler to me! You are lucky to have one visit your garden and great piccies too!  |

I hope that it becomes a regular before migration - it has a lovely whistling call. |

Lovely bird to get in the garden. Agree it's willow warbler- primary projection (easier to see on photo!) + plae legs. Yellowish tones indicate juvenile. |

Always a good bird to get in your garden, I was lucky enough to have 2 in the garden last week. Only tend to get them in spring and autumn as they pass thru and stop to feed. Cheers
