Reed Warbler LCyD - Wed 24 April

Single Reed warbler calling sporadically from within the reedbed - only saw it twice though, skulking low down by the waterline so no pics. Also could hear a Med Gull calling but could I find it?

2 male Reed Bunting and lingering GC Grebe only other things of note - Grebe seems to be taking an increasing desperate interest in one of the (very scared looking) drake Mallard!!

    The images looked like they were taken in the soft lighting of the morning, it piddled down in the afternoon!
