Quite a fluke this... rushing back home for the F1 GP start after a morning with my family at Fowlmere RSPB reserve, I wound down the car window when following behind a cyclist & was astonished to hear this bird singing clearly a field or two away on the golf course perimeter. After pulling in, I recorded the song on my handy Remembird II digital recorder, then, unable to actually see the bird, returned home and confirmed the id through friend and vocalization expert Dan Duff, playing the recording down the phone - mid-GP, I returned with Tim J Wilson and thankfully we relocated the bird on the golf course and I secured a few record shots from the nearby footpath.
