Marshing on

Mission accomplished. Work finished and straight up to Hadston where a small crowd had gathered around a very vocal bird. Not immediately obvious other than by song it gave many glimpses before eventually popping up into full view.
Pale edges to primary feathers clearly visible although ident not really needed given the repeated song unfortunately not captured due to the strong breeze.
Reeds often got in the way as it stayed low although on a couple of occasions it came within ten feet perching briefly on brambles in front of the assembled throng. 
Much mimicry of other bird song and a cracking little chap. Check out Birding sometimes for quality shots.
