Great Reed Warbler

Great Reed Warbler

I'm pretty certain that this is what it is. Slightly smaller than a Blackbird, (larger than the other Warblers in the area), and a very 'coarse' sounding song. Not the best of pictures, but it took some tracking down once I heard it.
If anyone can confirm, or otherwise, I'd be greatfull.

Looks like one to me. The song is a loud, low, raucous, gutteral repetition of notes. Much louder and slower in delivery than Reed Warbler. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the comments.
Spot on with the song Damselfly. Think that confirms it for me.
Thanks.
