  Sedge Warbler
Sedge Warblers are noisy residants of many wetland habitats between April and September.
Once heard, the harsh calls of Sedge Warblers from within a reed bed is easily remembered and even if not seen it is often pretty obvious that they are present.
Sedge Warblers will then often be seen flitting around before settling on a prominent reed or shrub, occasionally within a few feet of you.

 Sedge Warbler, Acrocephalus schoenobaenus
Sedge warblers advertise their presence by a chattering and varied song, but are often invisible due to the dense herbage they haunt.
Sedge warblers devote most time to singing — either from the depths of cover or from such vantage points as alders and birches in full view.

  Moustached Warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This passerine bird is a species found in upright vegetation such as reeds and sedge.
This is a medium-sized warbler, 12-13.5 cm long, slightly larger than the similar Sedge Warbler, Acrocephalus shoenabaenus.
The song is fast and similar to the Sedge Warbler and Reed Warbler, with some mimicry and typically acrocephaline whistles added.

 BES - Grant Reports - SEPG 1316
The sedge warbler's song is considered unusual in its extreme elaboration and its function, its purpose being almost solely for attracting a female (Catchpole 1973a).
The presence of sedge warblers was indicated by song activity or the visual observation of birds.
Therefore, one might assume, the more obvious a singing sedge warbler is to a passing female, the greater the chance of his pairing with her.

Willow Warblers were numerous, with more than 250 at the Bill alone, but most of the other expected common migrants were represented; other counts from the Bill included 17 Yellow Wagtails, 15 Garden Warblers, 8 Spotted Flycatchers, 6 Redstarts, 3 Tree Pipits, 2 Turtle Doves, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, and single Black Redstart and Pied Flycatcher.

The sedge warbler is a small migrant from Southern Europe and North Africa between April and August.
Is is one of the most easily recognised of the five warbler species in Northern Ireland with its heavily fl-streaked head, olive-brown upper body, conspicuous cream eyestripe, white throat and rufous flanks.
Although widespread, sedge warblers are normally quite difficult to spot, as they tend to hide in dense vegetation, flying low and direct between cover.

Breeding Birds in the Wider Countryside 2000: Sedge Warbler
Prior to the inception of the CES and BBS, Sedge Warbler populations were not represented well by any UK monitoring scheme, but the CBC identified a decline, especially on farmland, that ceased in the mid-1970s.
CES provides the best monitoring for Sedge Warbler and it shows large inter-annual fluctuations and a suggestion of a decline through the 1990s.

 The Strange Warbler at The Lhen 15   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Of this family, there is only Sedge Warbler that is regular here on the Isle of Man. But this bird was obviously not a Sedge Warbler, due to its very plain mantle and wing feathers (Sedge Warbler has a distinctly streaked mantle and dark centres to the wing coverts and tertials).
That left me having to consider that the bird was either a Reed Warbler (a rare passage bird on the island) or the even rarer Marsh Warbler (no records, from the main island) and therefore definitely worth further investigation.
I must admit that my initial reaction was to lean towards the bird being a Marsh Warbler as it appeared to lack any warm colouration (although this was subjective from one photo) and had very pale legs.

MORE WARBLERS have touched down, the males are making themselves conspicuous, not just by singing, but, in the case of the Whitethroat and the Sedge Warbler, with short song flights too.
The Garden Warbler, by comparison, is the epitome of elegance, it lacks any bold markings, its song has phrases that remind me a bit of a flbird, like a whetted whistle, a fruity, rather than a scratchy song.
As you would guess, these two warblers are quite specific to habitat and we found garden warblers at the open edges to the wood and sedge amongst the willows and scrubby bushes close to the canal.

 The Unknown Land.
Now, the Sedge Warbler could not tell her children where the great river went to; so she laughed, and said they must ask the Sparrow who chattered so fast, or the Swallow who travelled so far, next time one or other came to perch on the willow-tree to rest.
One day afterwards, when the parent birds had gone off to the sedgy banks of a neighbouring stream, another of the young ones flew to the topmost branches of some willow-trees, and, delighted with his position, began to sing merrily, as he swung backwards and forwards on a bough.
And the Magpie flapped his wings, and was gone before the Sedge Warbler had half recovered from his fit of vexation.
