Not a particularly good shot as the bird was under a tree so quite shady, I'm guessing some type of Warbler and if it helps the tree was alongside a river.
Thanks for the replies guys if it's any help there were around half a dozen of them in the immediate area, chasing each other around and seemed to be perhaps nesting in a tall tree covered in Ivy [maybe]
It's hard to tell off the photo willow warblers have been seen in the North East so would be in most places I would guess, but the legs do look dark in the photo which would indicate Chiffchaff.
At Fariburn Ings (West Yorkshire) there were definitely Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs out and about. I can't tell them apart visually, have to rely on their song/call.

I did a google image search and with all the yellow on it [plus I have the full size pic here and several others] seems to look more like the chiffchaff than the willow warbler. We didn't hear the chiffchaff call but last time we did it was a solitary bird in the top of a tree, guess there were so many of these together they they were more interested in feeding.
