They were only about 2 inches long... Does anyone know what they are?  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

We have one species in Europe (extremely rare in UK) which we commonly call the Fan-tailed Warbler, it's official name is Zitting Cisticola!! Anyway it's similar looking to yours but not identical so I'd hazard a guess at Golden-headed Cisticola?
