Hi.

Well, I guess it's a Willow warbler ?

But do they behave like this one did ?

It did NOT sing at all.. never was still..

Running along the seaside and now and then went out hovering the 
watersurface for insects ?

Rather GOOD pictures this time !!

Yes. Willow Warbler. It's got young to feed, so any way of finding 
food will be considered, and insects are plentiful just over the water 
surface.
