Wintersett + Great Reed Warbler Pics. 12.05.19

Light frost at dawn thawed quickly, and temperatures rose to 16 degrees,  calm with sun and a light  south westerly.
Wintersett Res: The Great Reed Warbler has been singing in the back of the reedbed from 06.00hrs to 15.00hrs.   It showed at least 4 times, with some observers getting  'scope views.  Late afternoon it showed well, on and off for 20 minutes,  interacting with two Reed Warblers at the western end of the reedbed.   Paul Meredith (@Fitzybirder reaped his reward after staking out the Great Reed Warbler for six hours.
