Hi Everyone,

Just want to double check this is a Sedge Warbler. Seen at the end of September near to Rovaniemi in South Lapland, first time birding abroad is putting doubts in my mind all the time.

Thank for your time

It's a Sedge Warbler. Pretty late in Lapland I would imagine.

Thanks guys, always like to make sure if I can!

@rosbifs - trip is going well thank you, very busy with university work and bicycle makes it quite hard to get around outside the city but I've seen some very nice birds at very close distances some personal highlights are:

Nutcrackers only a couple metres away
Bluethroats
So many Waxwings everywhere
Northern Long-tailed Tits
Just this morning 5 Pine Grosbeaks including a stunning male.
Hazel Grouse just outside the city
Siberian Jay on several occasions, with on one occasion 6 coming down to steal crumbs of bread around the fire at lunchtime.

Still searching for that Siberian Tit though!
