Sorry Johan for taking the easy way out. I had willow warbler with the inevitable question mark. Now that you have made me feel guilty :redface: that would not have been its habitat!

Lesser Swamp-Warbler never even came to mind! My birdie book shows quite a pretty bird but I didn't see it as having an exceptionally long bill.

Thank you for your patience!

:thumbs_up: I agree with Rusty -Cape Reed-Warbler or Lesser Swamp-Warbler as it is now called.

Managed to get a shot of a Lesser Swamp Warber on its nest on Saturday morning. Being early morning I had to shoot at ISO 200 (my camera cannot handle any higher), F2.8 and 1/80. Will try and get a better shot at some other time.
