Yellow-browed warbler ?
(Preview)
A bird most probably of this species opposite the sewage works entrance yesterday afternoon (c.2.00 so couldn't be Craig's bird?). Called three or four times as it moved swiftly through the canopy before going quiet. Unfortunately didn't see it and was unable to relocate subsequently Andy
