The Sedge Warbler is a medium-sized warbler of marsh, reedbeds and wetlands, which can be spotted singing from perches on reeds and willow bushes. A great mimic, the male Sedge Warbler introduces random phrases into its repertoire, never singing the same song twice and attracting more mates the more phrases it has. Sedge Warblers are summer visitors to the UK, breeding in wetland habitats from April onwards.
To help wetland birds such as the Sedge Warbler, The Wildlife Trusts manage many wetland nature reserves sympathetically - scrub clearance, ditch and scrape digging and reedbed planting and cutting are just some of the management techniques used to benefit wildlife. You can help by supporting your local Trust and becoming a member; you'll find out about exciting wildlife happenings, events on your doorstep and volunteering opportunities, and be helping local wildlife along the way.
