A rare view of Cetti's Warbler

Whilst waiting for Bittern at WSL tonight, I heard the contact call of Cetti's to our right and saw movement at the base of the second nearest Ash, I pointed it out to Steve and Bob and suddenly up it jumped in full view on to a low branch, then even more obviously onto bramble, before diving down. Probably the best view in a couple of years, maybe more. In contrast, the Bittern  barely showed at all.
At the car park field, a handful of Redwing flew by, I heard a very brief call of what was possibly Mistle Thrush before deciding it was too cold to stay longer without a wool hat, so maybe tomorrow I'll stick around.
