Not the best of angles!! A quick look shows the suggestion of a black cap? I guess you would have known this was a Blackcap though so it must be something else?

what was the song like? scratchy or more melodic?

Not a Blackcap,the song was melodic but not as sweet as a Willow Warbler,saw Mike Stead at L/S/W site and his best guess was Garden Warbler?

Doesn't look like a Garden Warbler, now I've seen the photo !
Thin bill is more typical of a Blackcap ??
