Thanks for your help everyone. I will assume willow warbler.

Since this was a juvenile I must keep my eyes open for Mum, Dad and siblings. I didn't know we had any warblers around here (my hearing is not that good so I would not recognise the singing).

Chiffchaff has brown to dark brown legs, Willow Warbler has pale brown to orangey brown, dark to slate grey leg colour. So is not always a reliable feature. Cheers

That's such a shame, a beautiful bird.

If birds are hitting your window that often, it may help to put some sort of sticker in it, cos if they can see right thru the other side they will never know the glass is there.

From a piece of black paper I found in my inkjet fotopaper box, I have cut out a silhouette of a hawk and stuck it to my window, it seems to have done the trick, this is because we have a feeder close to the window so we can watch the birds feeding. the birds still feed but dont bump the window now. regards Jon
