Just a lifer hingeing on this, so no pressure!!!

This is my "Sedge Warbler" from my recent trip to Northumberland.

I'm really sorry about the quality of the photo, and the size of the bird... this was the clearest of about 8 shots!!!

Anyone confirm my id?

For your information - 'cos that photo's clearly rubbish! - distinctly short tail and light coloured supercilium.

I see Sedgies all the time on the canal in summer and at a push the light band under the black crown says Sedgie.

If the original is larger than this then cut out the bird itself and we will have a bigger picture to look at.

Hi Birdman,
Looks good for Sedge Warbler to me!Supercilium in particular points to that identification.Habitat good also.

Hi Birdman et al,
Would like to point out that despite the new photo appearing before my post,I replied after having only seen the first one!
The second one strengthens my convictions.
