I can't be sure. He wasn't calling but he looks to have has black legs. But his head looks strange which might be the sun

In my opinion Chiffchaff Beryl.

However, the second image is so distorted by the light on the birds head that it would make an excellent mystery photo. Also in the second image, another 'unintended' photographic distortion is that the bill looks too large for Chiffchaff.

Lol. He does look odd. It is the light and shadow on his head and bill. I think it is a juvenile maybe

To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
