Amazingly, the scene this lunchtime was almost a mirror image of yesterday along the stream - the 10 or so Reed Buntings still present, the 3 Cetti' s (one of which afforded me my best ever views of the species), 6 Common Chiffchaffs and (for me at least) 1 of the SIBERIAN CHIFFCHAFFS (Mike McKee and Renton were still on site when I left so may have found more).
Also, along the stream, a Water Rail called, and a gorgeous pair of Grey Wags performed. On the Jubilee River, the drake Goosander was still near the weir and we had 2 BEARDED TITS (one seen another heard), with a possible third, in the reeds near the picnic benches (the original Bittern bed) which is back in Bucks of course (Brian Clews)
