The Merlin app reckoned I heard a Dusky Warbler a couple of weeks ago (Lincolnshire). I didn’t see the bird and I’m sceptical of Merlin when it comes to unusual ones - but the recording sounds very much like the reference

I know not to blindly trust the Merlin App but it suggested a Dusky Warbler repeatedly over a period of about 5 minutes - what do we think #lincsbirding ? Unfortunately I couldn’t catch sight of the bird.
