Well done Chris, looks like it may be a Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler though, the dark stripe through the eye would tend to indicate this. Can't really see the colour of the legs too well, but they appear to be dark and that would indicate a Chiffchaff.

Your garden warbler is almost certainly a chiffchaff. A garden warber has a slightly broader bill and the willow warbler has pale legs. Unfortunately positive ID between chiffchaffs and willow warblers can only be 100% through song/call.

garden warbler, chiffchaff and willow warbler in that order.

Note as Rolf points out the lack of eye stripe on the garden warbler.

Thanks for that wild goose, it is a problem with many of the warblers, unless you can record their song or get a photograph, it can be very difficult to differentiate between them with a quick sighting.

I think if you remember a chiffchaff is a sort of two tone Like his name just Chiff- chaff, chff- chaff all the time and the warbler has a mixture of little notes which is a little more pleasant to listen to
