I've already commented below one of the pictures, but are they 2 pics of the same bird?

My guess is its a Willow Warbler.

Default Warbler

Thanks Neil,for putting the photo up haven't worked out how to do it.
Thanks to John and astafjevs for your comments, to get my "first" Warbler,I'd spent 4hr's wondering round the country side looking for something i've not seen before. Only to find them on the way back to the car!!!!!

...your not the first one to make that point!

Birds can turn up when you least expect them that's for sure.

Still, I'm sure you're pleased now you know it's a first!
