♂. A singing bird. Discovered by SKR last Friday, by sound, with doubts about its identity, sitting right in the middle of a Marsh Warbler territory - or several. But confirmed by sound and photos today. These photos are perhaps not conclusive, but still show some of the characters to look for: Long bill, dusky distal lower mandible, apparently short primary projection. Picture 1 though blurred, gives the feeling of a short wing. The eyebrow bright in front of the eye is also a good indication as is the flat forehead and the overall cold colors. The last blurry photo just added to show the long undertail coverts - trait of the Acrocephalus-warblers. The bird didn't sing when I was there, but I recorded the soft tjek call that is characteristic when compareing with the realistic candidates to be found at this site. While I was there it mostly stayed low in a ditch with dense vegetation, but came up a few times sitting on the fence for a few seconds before diving back into hide. Frieslandsvej. Update: Added a long song sequence recorded the following night at 00:50. Compare this song with a Marsh Warbler, 3549, I recorded the same night. |
