It has been a long season and I suspect that there have been more lows than high for the average reed bed dwelling warbler but despite that they just keep on singing and holding that territory while helping to bring off at least one if not two broods of healthy chicks. This male Sedge Warbler looks worn and he still has to fatten himself back up too for the long flight back to Sub-Saharan Africa...
