I think it is Radde's Warbler ;D

Hello.
I think that it would be a Black-browed Reed Warbler because of the following:

1. Overall tone: reed brown
2. Black brow over white brow
3. Clean back
4. shape. Radde's would be more rounded, esp. of the head.
5. Bill - Radde's has a thicker bill.

Very good to see a normally ultra elusive warbler in Penfold park - and the first photo is not a bad shot for it!

Thanks madsen & Koel.

Koel,
My first record of this bird in Penfold. :D
I also think that it should be a black-browed reed warbler. It hid in the bushes, just a glance, flash & disappeared.
Thanks so much for identification.
