I've got a nice photograph of one I took near Faro Airport in Portugal so I'll pass.

I reckon you're right.

I reckon your right.

Thank you.

Very similar bird to a Sedge Warbler.

NABU, the German equivalent of the RSPB, select 5 birds that you can vote for. The five are chosen to raise public awareness of their plight. The public can then vote for them on their site.

Here's the link.
