Great Reed Warbler at Carlton Marshes

On the evening of Tuesday 2nd June, a fine sunny evening I walked up to the extreme western end of Carlton Marshes. Along the far western bank was Dick and he said the Great Reed had been sining from a bush by the reeds. After just 20 minutes, we could hear the distinctive "arra arra chee chee" song Dick walked back and motioned to me said he had just seen the bird singing from the edge of the bush near the path. Looking within the bush I could see the large rufus brown shape of this fine Great Reed Warbler and again it flew back a little way and was moving deeper down in the bush. A little later on where were were joined by Rob Will and a bearded Andrew E, At the back of the bushes, I saw this fine Great Reed Warbler fly out to the right and pitched in some reeds just before bushes on the left hand side.
