This warbler popped up from within the bushes today whilst watching the Shrike at Canvey Marsh Essex.
Probably just a Reed Warbler but it provoked some discussion on site so I thought as I managed to get a snap shot of it I'd post it for others to consider.


your thoughts welcomed

The pp does look short..c50-55%?...direct sunlight as in this case, will certainly ''warm up'' the upperparts.

I'd look for it tomorrow, If I were in your shoes...and if still present, endeavour to get better shots of the wing formula.
