    Yep, that's something I forgot to point out. It might be the female as usually in the Insect World the Male is the "Dandy" and the Female is brown or similar:coffee:

                Not sure what the Beetles are Arm but at least they aren't Lily Beetles!

                Saw first Swifts today on a 9 mile walk at Martin Down nature reserve in Hampshire

                  Some posts were hidden so I missed them, yes it is a Sedge Warbler, creamy eye stripe and streaky back compared to the plain Reed Warbler.
