What do you make of this? It was making a repetitive "Zit" call (not a Fan-tailed Warbler, much faster than that) and it doesn't look as neat as the Reed Warblers which were in the same area. It's too small to be a Great Reed Warbler, and I'm stumped with that cleft tail...

Location - El Hondo reserve near Alicante

Thanks guys, I'm getting fed up with FTWs that don't look or perform to spec. I had seen at least 20 of them in a one-mile walk along the reed edge, but this one looked and sounded so different.....
