Great Reed Warbler - 1994

Vagrant

One bird trapped and ringed at Skokholm on 13-14 May 1967 (C. Britton) was the first for Wales, and was followed by another on 11 May 1970 (B. Chambers). None have been recorded since daily trapping ceased at Skokholm in 1976, nor has their loud and distinctive song been heard from any of the mainland reedbeds.
