Default Strange Ticking Noise - Audio Included

Hi Everyone,

I have recently noticed a strange ticking / clicking noise which sounds like its coming from the passenger side, possibly somewhere near the headlights. During a recent service a mechanic told me that he thought it could be a spark arcing somewhere, but said that the car was not missing.

I have included a couple of photos of the engine bay to show where I believe the sound is coming from, and also an audio file here. It is a bit hard to hear for the first half of the audio as the bonnet was open, however the second half of the audio is with the bonnet shut and the sound is a lot more clear.

While taking this audio file I started the car from cold and the noise was not present, but after about 5 min at idle it started. Any ideas?
