Heard this little chap singing away by the roadside, they don't keep still for long, but I got a few snaps, not sure whether it is a Willow warbler or Chifchaff..gif "Smile")
Been doing a bit of research and found that the easiest way to tell them apart is by their call, the Willow Warbler only using a single note.
Thanks Robert, yes I've been researching as well, this bird definitely had a two note call, with one being longer, so it appears that it is a Chiffchaff.
It appears to have changed its call this weekend, I'm sure it was two notes but with one longer last week.
This is what it sounds like this week and is definitely a Chiffchaff.

Chiffchaffs have black legs if that is any help, I have never seen a willow warbler though. I had a Chiffchaff in my garden last year but never heard it sing
They are very difficult to tell apart, even when looking at photos alongside each other.
I've now heard what I think is a Willow warbler in the copse opposite, but have not been able to get a decent photo yet.
