Blyth's Reed Warbler at Barton

The weather didn't really inspire this morning but decided to carry the camera and gear around the pits as June is the month to find something good but as I had already found a new bird for the patch this week I the form of a singing Icterine Warbler there didn't seem much hope of emulating that find;  parked at Waters' Edge and walked around the viewing area that I thought looked great for a Rosefinch or Blyth's Reed but as usual nil reward; passed the Icterine spot that was predictably quiet then walked past the Far Ings scrapes and was listening to a Blackcap that seemed to be doing some very odd notes? walked a bit further and the odd notes were coming from a large weeping willow tree where there appeared to be a very loud Great Tit and a hueeeting phyllosc all rolled into one - I was starting to dream Blyth's Reed when a pale brown warbler appeared on the edge of a bush and did some of those notes! Dragging out the recorder I got a few bits of song then heard a forklift with a very rattly body coming down the track - timing could not have been worse or so it seemed but after a few seconds the warbler started up again and I even managed a few record shots before locals started to arrive -- a bird I had only ever seen a couple of in autumn and had never heard singing, a patch tick, county tick and self found British tick and a fitting 300th self found Lincolnshire bird all rolled into one -- below are a small selection of the recordings I made - it was mimicking amongst others, Chaffinch, Great Tit, Swallow, Beeeater, Quail and phyllosc
