Warbler audio ID (1 Viewer)

Hi
Plenty of Blackcaps around here (Wellington, Somerset) but I heard this today near the river (bottom left of photo on audio clip) and it was a shorter, very abrupt sound, very loud. Sounds like other warblers I've seen/heard elsewhere but to my untrained ear, similar but not exactly to a Cetti's

Any help with an ID gratefully received

If that was the totality of the song rather than an extract from it, and if it was coming out of scrubby dampish vegetation, then, yes, it sounds like a slightly odd Cetti's warbler.

Would be good to get a little longer recording... might be Cetti's but I wouldn't exclude an odd Blackcap

That was it, just a short sharp blast. It's one of the reasons I didn't think it was a Blackcap.

I hear Blackcaps in the field everyday but I had wandered down towards the bank and heard this really loud short song out of nowhere, coming from bushes overhanging the water. I think that as I crept down it flew off and I heard it down stream, the same short loud burst.

The Merlin app showed up Cetti's and I know it didn't sound like the Blackcaps I am used to but wanted to see what others thought.

I appreciate the input.

I reckon its prob a Blackcap - their song starts to get a bit wonky towards the end of the season, and often starts to incorporate mimicry.
