Thanks Paul for sharing some more nice photos. The Warblers a bit of a nightmare and I understand you might have other behavioural and structural  characteristics that may have pointed towards (?Western) Olivaceous Warbler Iduna pallida. Was there any chance this might be a Booted W I caligata?
The reason I wondered was the front part of the upper edge of the supercilium seems to be dark edged, the bird appears rather compact and the legs seem rather pale with dark feet(that's why they are called 'booted'!)
Always difficult with limited views but you did well to get these images.Details of the bill tip  and primary projection would be helpful.
Attached is a Western Olivaceous from the greek island of Lesvos digiscoped 5 years ago - interestingly its leg and feet appear to be different colours !
With kind regards,
Eric
