A lovely person from xeno-canto suggested it’s a Cetti’s warbler but agrees it could be a recording.
Location is Winchelsea Beach East Sussex, right outside my window somewhere.
Anyone here in the U.K. have any advice please?
Nb. Background noise is marsh frogs, knocking sound is not the bird.

I would also say definitely a Cetti's Warbler which has such a distinct sound; I have heard before at dawn and dusk in fading light as well as during the daytime so hope it was the bird and not someone playing an applet tape lure. I heard a cuckoo sound at the end of February but knew it almost certainly it had to be someone playing the sound on their mobile !

Having looked up Applet tape lure (thank you - I had no idea)...I have contacted the RSPB for advice and was passed to a wildlife officer...they agree it’s a Cetti’s warbler (I got that identification from Xeno-Canto...brilliant organisation/website) but don’t think it’s a lure as Cetti’s aren’t used in that way. Here’s hoping.
I actually just want it to stop now as I’d like to sleep at night. I’d also like to hear some other night birds.
Your photographs are a gift to all who view - thank you for the link.
