Struggling with this one. I'm guessing Blackcap, but somehow it doesn't seem right. Also thought about Willow Tit but no black in throat.

Thanks in advance.

Flycatchers are quite 'prominant' birds - nearly always moving (watch the tail for one) - Blackcaps are generally quite difficult to see! Skulking around.

Check out the wing patches on the back - the female as well - sometimes the easiest way to differentiate with Spotted Flycatcher and other birds...
