Cetti's warbler (Cettia cetti)

A lifer for me.. This thing teased me for an hour and a half this morning before rewarding me with a full 360 modelling and a blast of that wonderful song. It nearly deafened me.
Habitat
Likes damp areas close to wetlands. Look for it at RSPB reserves at Radipole Lake and Lodmoor, Dorset; Exminster Marshes, Devon; Marazion Marsh, Cornwall; and Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk.

Fabulous shot, was listening to one this morning that was "in touching distance" but couldn't get a view of it let alone a photo.
