Reed & Sedge

A Sunny day, 18°, light SSW.

A trek out to the Lees and beyond today and Alan covering Bow Bridge to the 4-Arches.

6+ Sedge Warbler and at least 3 Reed Warbler along the “Reedy ditch”. A small colony of “Acro” Warblers doing well in the area.

A good number of Reed Bunting between the Church and the outskirts of Aston and a few Yellowhammer, 4-5 pair of Yellow Wagtail and a single Corn Bunting also noted. And a Hobby soaring over Church road on return.

All the regular suspects along the river.

Mammals: Roe Deer & Muntjac Deer.

Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle, Large Red Damselfly (both sites) & Azure Damselfly.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Green-veined White, Orange Tip, Common Blue, Holly Blue, Painted Lady (both sites), Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Marsh Fritillary, Speckled Wood & Small Heath.
