Clamorous reed warbler (Acrocephalus stentoreus)

Shot this warbler several times..but I did not get the courage to put a name to it. Very confiding, darting amongst the thicket....one gets barely a second to shoot it!! Hope I got the id/name right!!!

Thickets adjoining reed beds
Location
Uppalapadu Bird Sanctuary, Guntur, India
Date taken
March 19, 2015
Scientific name
Acrocephalus stentoreus
Equipment used
Nikon D7000, Sigma 150-500
They are incredibly difficult to photograph (or I find they are) never still for a second. A beautiful clear shot of this songster.
 
A fabulous shot Kish, terrific detail .. don't know whether we get it over here. At this time of year I find it easiest to identify them by their calls/songs

Fabulous shot! And a very pretty bird. Are you sure it's spelled with a C, not a G? ;)
