Not only have sedge warblers been late in arrival recently, but even as the longest day approaches the numbers in parts of the upper Thurne have been below normal. However, populations of summer migrants wintering in Africa vary here from summer to summer. And the sedge remains the most widespread of our marsh haunting warblers. Their breeding season range, covering the greater part of Europe, extends as far as northern Scandinavia. More

Sedge warbler on the Greatham Site Sedge Warbler currently breed on site, nesting in reedbeds and marsh areas including rushes and sedges.

Getting shots of these birds was a question of watching them until I could find one that regularly used an exposed perch and these were very difficult to find in the dense reedbeds. It was nice to be able to get a shot that showed enough background without the reeds being too intrusive. More
