Chiffchaff I think though willing to be corrected. Nice picture.

tail looks too long for a chiffchaff, and lacks any facial features of phylloscopus species. although i've never seen one, i think this may be a garden warbler Sylvia borin

Garden Warbler was my first thought too.

Thank you for the help so far.. It would be great if I could get a definate answer though .. I only have one other photo of it and it is more or less the same.. I could try to make the picture bigger if that would help

Yes, a garden warbler. Very 'borin' to look at but a delightful song.

Regards, Chris

It was a lovely song.. it was the song which made me curious and also gave away its position to me.. It took me a little while to spot it though.

Thank you everyone
