Bird for ID

[Anzu]

Good afternoon,

I saw this guy sitting on the cables above the train line next to my garden in Norwich.




I hope the pics are good enough for an ID,

thank you for looking!

Hi Anzu,

It's a Common Whitethroat (Sylvia communis).

Oops, htcdude posted at the same time. His answer is more comprehensive than mine though

Thanks guys!

I would say its a Whitethroat a common summer visitor May to September.
Or Possibly a Lesser Whitethroat which as a Grey head and white throat.

The line between the grey head and the white throat is much more striking in the Lesser, this is definately a Common.
