It is a great spring for Sedge Warblers, with lots singing everywhere, in reedbeds, willow thickets, brambly tangles and overgrown ditches. Perhaps a good breeding season last year, followed by good migration survival and clement wintering grounds south of the Sahara. I love their over-excited song, so different from the chuntering Reed Warbler, fizzing and whistling, before catapulting into the sky full of exuberance. This one paused to eye me with suspicion, as I watched it singing in a willow at Ripon City Wetlands.
