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!!
