I can't ID it on those angles, but I wouldn't rule out Blyth's Reed Warbler either - hard tac as a call is a good indicator - though they sound more like Lesser Whitethroat to me

thanks Jane, i thought it sound like a common whitethraot because there is one or two in my garden, today i got a lesser but i am sure this one is making those calls, so here are more shots, hope they are better.
the one in the third shot was silent, and looked more yellow to me, could it be a Marsh. but i see it seem so similar.

Looking long winged in those photos,so Marsh is likely. The silent bird is Marsh.

I'm fairly sure that's a Marsh Warbler in the 3rd photo
Look at the obvious clear pale edges to the primary feathers
This group of birds is very difficult to identify. You need to be very methodical
If possible, try to take photos more from above the bird than below the bird; maybe from an upstairs window ? It's important to try to get a clear picture of the wing, especially
good luck...
