Nice introductory text for the photo. Nice photo. I like very much how the bird has tilted its head. And the colors. and these branches which have something of a mantis

The tree is an albizia. It's in my garden.

Cool how names are given to birds, we know it as a Tjiftjaf

That is how we call it, might as well be the bird in the picture.

@Hans
The one you call Tjiftjaf is in fact another species, of the same family as the Willow Warbler (here in the pic).
