It is a Rufous Songlark, probably male

Google Drive seems to work OK, so I have uploaded the four photos I managed to take. They were taken about 1100 am (30c temp). It flew out of the rushes and stayed on the rock for a couple of minutes before retreating to the rushes again. Initial thoughts was a Reed Warbler, but it didn't look quite right, although the heat may have caused it to slim down somewhat.

Hey all
Can someone ident this bird please - along Gininderra Creek in Latham.
Also, any suggestions on where I can try a range of birding binoculars, I am on the lookout for some light weight ones.
