If I fire off enough shots, maybe just one of 'em will be a photo!

Graceful Warbler? Egypt
Very small, very cute and very active in the tree branches.
Almost impossible to capture as he wouldn't keep still for a second! These are the best I could get. Nearest I can find to it is a Graceful Warbler - is that correct? Cheers

Could it be a Sardinian Warbler, perhaps?

Found (Adult male) Sardinians in the hotel grounds - pretty certain this little fella was smaller than those I saw. Paler too.
Female or young un maybe?

I thought it had a Whitethroat type feel to it, so I had a nosey at The Collins Bird Guide, and the eye colour and distribution looked good for Sardinian. I've never seen one, so I'm really basing my answer on what is in the book. Hopefully someone who knows a lot more than me can help out.

That's what I thought when I saw it - miniature whitethroat :-)
