Thanks everyone for your responses.  Willow Warbler it is. I originally thought it a bit large for a Willow.  It wasn't meant to be a trick question. I am profoundly challenged by migrant warblers (among others).

Cheers, Darcy

Hi Darcy,
I cannot see anythiing in this bird that is not a standard Willow
Warbler. Wood Warblers are a very different shape with short tails
accentuated by very long white undertail coverts,
Very best
