Common reed-warbler

Very nice photo of a nice species! These aren't easy to see, let alone photograph so you surely did well. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Indeed they are not. Unlike the Sedge Warbler for instance, which will often perch on top of the reeds, the common reed-warbler is always in the lower of middle level, making it way harder to see. This individual was only about two meters away from me. It stayed perched for minutes, I also made a video of it. Great moment.

I also have recently be able to photograph the Marsh Warbler, but those photo's did not turn out as good as this one did.

Cetti's warbler are even harder to see/photograph than common reed-warblers. I've heard them dozens of time, but seen them only about 5 times, and photographed it just once.

That sounds like a very cool experience you had with the reed warbler.

I've heard Cetti's warbler before myself (in fact I did just today during a work-related field trip) but I have yet to see one.

'De Biesbosch' has a growing population of Cetti's warbler. This time of year, you'll hear them everywhere (in the suitable habitat ofcourse). But you probably know this
