  1. Sorry, but the facial pattern is too strong for a Grasshopper warbler. It's a Sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus). Posted 9 years ago

The Sedge Warbler is an Old World warbler in the genus "Acrocephalus". It is a medium-sized warbler with a brown, streaked back and wings and a distinct pale supercilium. Sedge Warblers are migratory, crossing the Sahara to get from their European and Asian breeding grounds to spend winter in Africa.
