I think this may be a sedge warbler but would be grateful for any confirmation or correction. It was seen in reads by a small river in Hampshire England. Thanks for any help.

I would say it was a sedge warbler, yes. A very nice shot of one, too.

Thanks Sandy and John. Consensus seems to be that this is indeed a sedge warbler - I have asked elsewhere too and that seems to confirm sandpiper's view.
