Acrocephalus dumetorum
It seems this poor fella has fallen for Fowl Pox.
This small passerine bird is a species found in scrub or clearings, often near water, but it is not found in marshes.

What happened to its face?
poor :(
I feel that wild life has it so hard sometimes. They don't know what to do about their sufferings
I read that in national .Parks like the Serengeti,If rangers see an animal suffering too much ,they put it out of it's misery. I read in Bwana Game ,that the conservationist George Adamson would shoot Giraffe who had been stuck in mud for ages due to shortage of rainfall and those who were dying of thirst.
or if some lion had been injured badly in a fight and had it's jaw hanging loose ,he would just shoot it.
Lindsay Museum Of Wild life ,here really tries to help out sick wild life. We just have to tell them the location and they send out volunteers. I have taken 3 birds to them and they have given them such great care.
It would be hard to catch this bird, unless it becomes too sick to fly and lies down on the ground.and somebody alert notices it. Lindsay would definitely help this bird out.
That is sad indeed, but it's a good spotting.
How sad :(
Poor little thing!!
