Can anyone identify this call please? I've been hearing it a lot where I live, it flies from one high point to another, tree to powerline and back, making a few different short sounds but most notably this high, zippy song. Please ignore the juvenile magpie in the second part! Haven’t been able to get a very good look at it but it’s small, short bill, short tail, brownish with paler breast. Thanks!

Ah yes, that's absolutely it, the descriptions in my guides match perfectly (witcher/witchy-weedle is a pretty good verbalisation of the call). These Old World warblers are tricky! Thanks for the speedy help Steven.
