Difficult to tell really, sorry I can't be more help!

Thanks, this is what I have been going over in my mind for the past few months Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler

Hi again,
I think it is definitely a Warbler rather than a Chiff Chaff as the main difference between them is the colour of their legs. Willow Warblers are brownish and Chiff Chaffs are black. If you look at the photo on .... http://www.grayimages.co.uk/Chiff%20...2003,04,05.htm
you will see how black the Chiff Chaf legs are. from what I can see the two photos on this thread aren't as dark as those.
Marie.

Many thanks for all your help Marie. I am sure you are right and I will leave it as a Juvenile Willow Warbler in my records.
