Wow indeed... seriously chuffed about this.
After last year's glut of Whitethroats on my patch, we seem to have struggled this year. I know they are there, but not in nearly so obviously. As I've said elsewhere, my garden backs on to my patch, so there's always a chance that smomething will come visit, but this is a big surprise.
The Ribes is just poking over the top of the fence, and is the tallest thing in the garden. My partner spotted out visitor in the Berberis, and rather than appearing out of place, he actually seemed quite at home, in and out of the border plants. Seemed to be quite taken with the Fennel... probably the blackfly!!!
There may just have been two... but never saw two at once.

I too notice Whitethroats being harder to spot on my WeBS stretch of the canal. Last year I did not have to make an effort to record them but this year I have to stand at reliable spots and wait. Often come away with nothing. Still recording them on the survey walks though so they are being reliable.
