Is this a cetti's warbler

[Naturenutz]

I am not sure on this but hoping its a cetti's Warbler.Taken on the somerset levels.

Reed Warbler

A rule of thumb that has served me well is that - If you can see it, any of it, even if it's only a metre away then it's unlikely to be Cettis Warbler. I'm convinced that they have cloaking devices.....

Ummm...

So basically, if you can see it it's not a Cetti's Warbler (it must be something else)...
...which means that you never see a Cetti's Warbler, confirming that "if you can see it it's not a Cetti's Warbler!"
Arrrgh! My head hurts!



PS. I see Cetti's Warblers with reasonable regularity when I actually make the effort to spend time looking for them.

Could be Cetti's but does look like Reed Warbler. Best indication is song, totally different between the species.

It is a Reed like Dogghound said.

I have a similar photo that I would like to compare as I am unsure what it is.



Thanks.
