Hi EF sorry, I'm not good enough at separating Chiffchaff from Willow Warbler.

I suggest you post this in the ID forum where I'm sure they'll do their best to help you.

If you'd taken it in January I'd have confidently said more likely a chiffie, as WW's are still in Africa but now they're beginning to arrive here.

A great job catching this small guy in flight. Thanks.
