I don’t see many chiffchaffs (I guess) in my garden so when one does turn up its bit of an event especially when they walk on water! Shot through double glazing so not pip sharp.

Hi Bob
Tricky one this !! Chiffs have dark legs- willows light. Yours has one of each!! With the chest/throat colourand primary legth I would say Willow warbler. ( ButI wouldn't et my memory card on it !! Nice shot anyway.

Hi Bob.
Can't help with ID I'm afraid, it's a good looking bird in a nice setting, never seen one walking on water,nice shot.

Nice, unusual shot. I can't tell them apart unless I can hear them
