On what you can see, its hard to be certain, but its a yellow-toned Hippolais and Melodious is much more likely (backed up by rather brownish tones)

That's a Melodious Warbler.

Icterine extremely unlikely in Cadiz province I think. I'd go with Melodious.

I agree - bet there were some brambles in the valley bottom below or near that Olive tree

Melody. Agreed.

Whilst Melodious Warbler is common in Cadiz province (as it is throughout Iberia), but Icterine, although 'regular' in the Balearics, is rare elsewhere in Iberia. As far as I'm aware there are no records from Cadiz and only one from Gibraltar.

Sorry for the late reply, my internets been down for the past ten days! Thank you very much for the replies! I'll keep that in mind about the Icterine being a rarity around Cadiz.

Its a rarity in Spain - don't recall one ever been found in the Cadiz province (although I think one or two have been ringed in Coto Doñana over many years - though what hasn't?)
