Singing for England, definitely no chiff-chaff sounds. I guessed Willow, friend thought Garden. Checked photo's and books but not sure. Apologies for photo quality, big crop!

Learning the song would save you trouble next time ;) - WW has a liquid, descending warble, whereas GW has a rich melodic song like a Blackcap but "bubblier". If you get those down you'll be able to ID singing birds, even if you don't actually see them ;)
