Mark thank you for putting me onto the Sedge Warbler it took my year tally for birds seen in the County to 85. Having said that it would not keep still long enough to get a decent image. I stayed for another hour but the only excitement was a nice guy rushing into the hide with a "Diving Beetle" in a yoghurt tub. He had found it on the car park and went on to explain that it would `die` out of water - it was promptly dispatched through a side window into the water.
