A colleague made the attached recording of a Warbler at Mire Loch, St Abb's Head (NT9168) in the Scottish Borders. It was thought to be a Marsh Warbler but we would like to have a definite ID on it as it is rare for the area.

Hello,
I'd be more willing to do it a Blyth's Reed Warbler.

I think it's better for Marsh Warbler, although it's a bit on the slow side. It lacks the repeated call notes that Blyth's Reed tends to include and it also seems a bit too fast for that species.

I did my phD on the Marsh Warbler.
I don't recognize my bird.
On the other hand this song reminds me well a Blyth's.

I'm pretty sure this is an Icterine Warbler.

I agree with Roland;
this is an Icterine Warbler.

It lacks the usual bursts of voice, but I agree to a Icterine W.
