Sedge Warbler
A walk around the reserve in the morning in the company of AJG unsurprisingly failed to find the Rosy Starling as it has been very elusive. A party of 8 Green Sandpipers were on the hay fields and still present in the evening when I repeated the walk. A family party of Bearded Tits again showed well by the pumps, Marsh Harriers were busy hunting and at least 5 Great White Egrets are present, Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers seem to be abundant as does Reed Buntings, the Bittern however appears to have stopped booming and is very elusive, inly being seen in flight by the lucky few. The Glossy Ibis is still on its usual island on the ARC, where the usual summer build up of Pochard and Gadwall is occurring. The Hooded Crow deserted Greatstone and turned up at Dengemarsh and then in Lydd.
