Hi,
How can you distinguish that from a whitethroat?

Hi,
it's actually quite a different bird, the reed warbler is overall brownish without any greyish tint in it, no real contrast between the head and the rest of the body, unlike the whitethroat, even in the female. The habitat is also different and so is of course the song.
