🦉 Blyth's reed warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum)

• Acrocephalus Greek: acros upper, pointed, kephale head
• dumetorum lat .: dumetum thicket, thickets, dumus thorny bush

We call this bird "garden reedler". Most likely, the bird got this name for its habitat, namely thickets and bushes. It arrives much later than its relatives from the Acrocephalidae family (the reed warblers, marsh- and tree-warblers, or acrocephalid warblers)
The bird is easy to hear, and not only in the forest, meadows or fields, but even in city parks and courtyards. However, it is not easy to see it, the bird likes to hide in dense thickets.

As for the voice, the bird perfectly imitates the voices of other birds and sounds in principle. And it separates these sounds with its own crackling "check-check-check" adding up to a big song.
