Observation details

1 in grass and low vegetation on the bridleway off Vicar's lane south of the gas terminal late afternoon until dusk. Showed well and a fantastic bird. Saw first movement of a small bird flick into the grass on the footpath walked on and the bird flew out at close ranged perched low down right in the open and staring back at me...a Radde's Warbler! Proved a bit elusive at time but would show well and close. Calling a few times too, a soft 'plip'.
