I was lucky that day. Never heard or seen one before.

Heard an unusual birdcall earlier
#MerlinApp tells me it was a #commongrasshopperwarbler.
I think I spotted it drop into some long grass

Last grasshopper warbler of 2025 is Pausik!

named after him doing micro pauses while singing. He was singing in different area and that was the only bird singing there this season.

This year first common grasshopper warbler is Riidik!

I do not get close to these guys that often, as they usually sing always in inaccessible areas. This guy sang on an open field, so was good place.

De Sprinkhaanzanger is te vinden in nat en ruig rietgebied maar ook op
heidevelden.
Ze zijn dankzij hun camouflage moeilijk op te sporen.
Menu: nietvliegende insecten als spinnen. Scharrelt het voedsel bij elkaar kruipend over de grond als een muis.
Overwinteren doen ze in Afrika onder de Sahel.

Second common grasshopper warbler, we have Ruudik!

He sang not far away from Riidik 40-70 meters or so, so was able to capture his song too. Stutter the Thrush nightingale on BG, with amazing echo.
