    What a great selection and lovely photos. I am happy to be corrected but will give it my best shot.

    1 is either a willow warbler or chiffchaff. The most helpful identification features are unfortunately not really visible. Dark legs and shorter primary projection would be chiffchaff. Feet look quite bright but it feels chiffchaffy to me.

    2 looks like a sedge warbler

    3 I think this is a reed bunting

    4 is a dunnock

    5 has short primaries so I'm leaning towards chiffchaff (could be willow warbler)

    6 godwall

    7 little grebe

    8 black headed gull

    9 Chiffchaff (see dark legs)

    10 looks like a juvinile or moulting Goldcrest our smallest bird.

    Hopefully someone cleverer than me can correct anything I've got wrong.
