First Singing Warbler

This evening I had a quick walk along the side of the Pit Tip Top and almost immediately came across a warbler singing at the top of a tree. From the little I know of warblers, I presumed it was a Willow Warbler from its similarity to a Chiffchaff, but with pink/light coloured legs. However, capturing some footage and - more importantly - its song, helped to confirm this.

The rest of the walk was rather mundane, unless filming a Bat with the infra-red counts. A few Long-tailed Tit were in the trees where Farmer Fox's Cow Field meets Big Wood, and at least one Pheasant was heard calling (but not seen) from Parkside Pasture.
