Great Reed Warbler singing ‘‘all morning’’ behind reeds/bushes to the right when looking out from Noah’s Hide but apparently not seen. I was hearing it until about 11.30 (with Merlin app. confirming it for others).  But I’d been too late for the Blue-winged Teal along the way.

Ditto Dave, Thanks Jeff, only just read this as there so few posts these days. Will have a look later.

Thank you as ever, Jeff. What a shame that so few others will post here. For those of us who shun the evil Facebooks and X’s, this is a lifeline.

Singing male (and photograph) still along the footpath to Noah’s Hide this morning, per BirdGuides - present here since 23-May.
Not looked for it myself as my prostate cancer hormone drug results in hot flushes, so not birding, but keeping as cool as possible in this very hot weather!
