Thanks Phil. I got that news too.
They used to trap plenty there when I was a youngster.  In the table, please feel free to check, and offer any new developments etc., so it can be kept up to date and accurate as poss. Thanx. I've added a "pending" section, where details are scant about sighting, or they are merely possibles. Any further info is welcome on these. They will be dropped if no details eventually appear.

Had a nice yellow Sedgie this morning, with especially clear mantle lines... but look at the lores and the flaring upwards super.

I think it's safe to say that the bird depicted in the above photograph is NOT an Aquatic !  The link to the photographer's Flickr site on the Wiki page brings up a series of photos of the same bird which is clearly a juvenile Sedge Warbler, albeit with pale feather edges to the central crown feathers suggesting AW.

sorry Jane, I wasn't quite sure as the photographer himself had suggested the bird was possibly an Aquatic.

More than that - it was on Wikipedia as an example of Aquatic.

One at Rainham Marshes RSPB (although there is some mystery around the report - see the Baillon's Crake thread).
