What type of warbler?

[British Red]

Aternoon all,

I spend a pleasant few minutes today watching warblers at play around the dykes and salt marshes of Lincolnshire today.

I'm pretty poor at birds and I wondered if someone could confirm what type of warbler this is?

Sorry for the slightly blurred photo - they are both small and shy so I had to zoom in!

Looks like a Wheatear to me.

Could well be - it did bob its tail a lot.

A juvenile wheatear.

Wheatears are named after their white ****.

comes from the .Norse which sounds like whita erse so I've been told.

Changed to Wheatear for politeness sake.

That'll help me remember
