Not a great picture, but this bird is similar shape and size to a robin but has a very light green tint all over with a bit more yellow on the belly. There is a pale stripe over each eye. Thanks

A Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler?Both look extremely alike.
Going by the leg colour,I would say Willow Warbler,but could be wrong.

This is an image of a Willow Warbler I posted here several weeks ago.If you take a look at the colour of the legs,they're pinky-brown in colour,whereas a Chiffchaff would have darker coloured legs(as well as other less obvious differences).This is one handy way of distinguishing one from the other.
