Marsh Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris)

Similar to Reed Warbler and if the slightly shorter bill, olive grey plumage and white tips to the long primaries aren't obvious, then the song is! At least when you've worked out that this bird is a master impersonator with a repertoire of several familar (and not so familiar) other species..
