Lesser Swamp Warbler
Eyebrow much more prominent than Common Reed Warbler and at this time of year the most common Warbler to be found in reedbeds along water

Many thanks Ross. Just didn't sound like the Lesser Swamp Warbler whose usual call is unmistakable.

This contact call that it makes can be quite misleading

Thanks Ross. Interesting.

I am quite amazed I have never heard the Lesser Swamp Warbler making that chuck call in all the years of seeing them.

Kind regards.
