Hi
Lindell,
I'd say your bird is a Clamorous Reed-Warbler, not a Little Grassbird.
The Little Grassbird never calls very loudly. Its sound is very weak whistle.
The photo is of a Clamorous Reed-Warbler.

From: Lindell [ Sent: Sunday, 19 December 2010 5:49 PM To: Canberra Birds Subject: [canberrabirds] Help with ID please I was down at Norgrove Park between showers later this afternoon and heard
the sound of the Little Grassbird calling very loudly from the middle of the
reed-bed ponds.
I saw this one and could see it's throat moving with the sound but I
didn't have my bins with me - only the camera.
Everything about it points to a LGB except for the lack of dark striations
on the underparts.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
