Résumé :	We present photographic and molecular evidence of a wild Marsh Warbler x Sedge Warbler (Acrocephalus palustris x A. schoenobaenus) hybrid that occurred over three breeding seasons (2007-2009) near Trondheim, Central Norway. The bird had the appearance of a Marsh Warbler but with some typical Sedge Warbler plumage traits. DNA analyses of a few plucked body feathers, using the COI barcode region (mtDNA) and conserved microsatellite loci, confirmed that the bird was a hybrid, with a Marsh Warbler mother and a Sedge Warbler father.
