    Looks like a Wood Warbler with that broad stripe over his eye and the silky white under side.
    But I'm not a 100%

    Beautiful shots Joe.

    Nice shots Joe, have you got any of it facing away from you?

    Looks like it has stripes on the top of its head which could possibly make it a Sedge Warbler, did you hear any song?

    Click on Gallery at the top of the forum, then click upload in the Gallery navigation bar.

    Once into upload, pick your category from the drop down menu and then chose your files and if there are more than one, tick upload as a set. If you know it, please put the Latin name as well as the British name in the title, if not, I can add it for you.
