    I have noticed a number of these birds in the garden recently. No memory of seeing them in previous years. I wonder if they are some type of Warbler

    Either Willow Warbler or Chiffchaff - both are similar looking.

    Probably a Chiffchaff but you'd need to heard it's song.

    Not pale enough for a Willow Warbler to me. But it's a very shaded photo.


    Assuming that's what you mean.

    Blow the first shot up. Take it into Paint, or what ever. Get as clear a look as ye can. No disputing the underside of that right leg.

    Granted, the shadow along the top, due to proximity to the bird, can trick the eye. But, get it as big and clear as ye can. It becomes evident.
