    Unknown song, Southwest UK

    Hey all, please let me know what you think of this little song clip here. Other than the Long Tailed tits, this bird kept calling/singing from bramble scrub on a hill slope in my local park. Nothing is coming to mind listening to it, I would love to know if anyone else has an idea!:)

    Could you help me identify this bird by its song?

    These 2 days I've been listening to a bird somewhere near my house, but haven't been able to see it. It sings quite loudly, unfortunately I live in an urban environment, so the recording might be noisy. But could you help me with a name?

    Song convergence: Redstart and Pied Flychatcher and Moustached and Reed Warblers?

According to all the maps that bird is quite possible in the area where I was birding. I took multiple BirdNet samples and they all came back with...
