Just a few shots of a warbler seen over on Sanday, one of the more northerly Okneys, on Saturday. The bird was approx 11cm in length (about the same body length of a wren with a longer tail so size is pretty accurate the light was excellent the photographer (me) was unlucky to get a good shot of it worse luck. I think it may be a chiff-chaff or bonelli's but very difficult to definitely name i think any warbler experts want to help?

second shot was right over the garden (small field size) on a derelict chicken house (the hinge is a 7") but it may give you more help with body markings/face markings
