Grasshopper Warbler at Lynford Water, Norfolk

A mornings walk around areas of Hawthorn and Oak scrub produced a 'reeling' Grasshopper Warbler, a bird I don't encounter too often on the patch.  This fantastic un-birdlike song was heard from a number of bushes and I think I did catch a glimpse of the bird as it moved between cover.
Also in this habitat was a family party of Whitethroats (adult feeding young), a singing Garden Warbler, and Bullfinch.
I couldn't upload the song of the Grasshopper Warbler, however, here is a picture of the habitat which the bird occupied.
