I found this little chap flitting from sapling to sapling gathering bugs. But he did pause for a snap or two..

C&C welcome

A few more

He's a tiny chap much smaller than a sparrow and very quick..

It looks like a juvenile Bunting of some sort but I can't pinpoint exactly which one.

siskin?

looks like a warbler of some sort, though they are hard to tell apart without hearing the song.

Willow Warbler

Thanks for the reply chaps. I think I go along with the Willow Warbler..I have just printed out a couple 9x6 photo's and Even if I say so my self they look superb. Taken with the Canon 30D and bigma @500m At wistlandpound reservoir. A very beautifully place this time of year and its full so no hosepipe ban just yet

Markings are too pale to be a siskin.

We get loads of siskins on our garden feeders.

I thought it was just Goldfinches that liked niger seeds but the siskins love 'em as well.
