"Just one more observation/question. I’m no Acrocephaline expert, indeed not even an old world warbler expert as my uncle was, but it seems to me that we have different birds amongst the “Reed Warbler” population at Kelly’s. There are some individuals that are quite a bit larger and do not seem to vocalize quite the same way. Has anyone else noticed this?"

I've certainly noticed what I discerned to be a variation in the sizes of Reed Warblers in various local locations as well as in the Wagga area and wondered if I was seeing different species or forms.
