Great Reed Warbler at Langford - 12 June 2022

 Hearing that a Great Reed Warbler was singing and showing very well at RSPB Langford Lowfields, it seemed like a nice trip for a Sunday morning. The bird was seen briefly, initially but then perched up at close quarters for 20 minutes, delighting those assembled to see this bird.
