Bird identification
This one seen over Manchester airport on Friday. I'm pretty sure it's a Hobby.

Re: Bird identification
Dark legs and feet (with just a touch of pale soles being of no significance), whitish eye ring and short primary extension past the tertials (a bit technical I know, this is the length of the wing flight feathers sticking out past the overlapping top ones) make it a Chiffchaff.
Hobby is spot on, streaked not barred (lengthwise not crosswise) on breast and flanks as well as reddish thighs.
