I’m not fully convinced of my identification, but then I took the photo thinking it was a Chiffchaff. However, no eye-stripe and that streaked crest is not right for a warbler. Worse, it was over-exposed (at ISO8000, 1/1250s) so my corrections may have spoiled the balance of light to dark.

Nice shot!
I’ve seen a bunch of them around here and i’d say your identification seems correct.
hint: the “Merlin” app from Cornell Labs is pretty good for checking things like that. Or https://observation.org/ if you at home and have the pics on your computer.
The Merlin app is what gave me the lead, though then looked it up in the WILDGuide Britain’s Bird book.
