great photo, JB, with excellent details, many tfs!!
It's not a garden warbler, it's a whitethroat (or lesser whitethroat, the colour of the bill is not obvious)

Thank you for your ID because I was not sure. That is why I asked. Is it the bill only ?

the overall colour of lesser is more grey, the head is typically darker and the song is very distinctive

Awesome !! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It sang a lot but sadly, I have no comparison with the other species. By the way, this bird is def. a talented singer.
