Jane and Jos, thanks very much for the ID. We have a few Dunnock in the garden but this didn't seem to remind us of them . Denise thought it might have been an Alpine accentor until we read it lives at 1800-3000m and are not found in England so we plumped for a warbler of some sort.

Denise was very close then, this being a Hedge Accentor!
