I headed back down to Lyde Road this morning to catch up with a singing reed warbler found by Adam. There are large numbers of singing Whitethroats on patch now, so it seems likely that this is indeed a breeding site for the species.
The bird was singing in the reedbed area when I arrived. I never got a view of this bird on the deck, but a second non-singing Reed Warbler (a pair?) showed well in the vegetation along the railway line before chasing the second bird. I previously struggled to see this species in Yeovil as a migrant, but hopefully they may breed here. I wish I knew about this site sooner!
