Hi Jeanette

As far as I can make out from the general gizz, the first four are all Reeds if all the same bird as in Pic two. The pics are rather small though - any way to enlarge them?

The last two are definitely Sedge.

Hi Picidae, thanks for confirming the sedge, the others I've just cropped them, meant to do it before posting, sorry, the first two are definatley the same bird and three and four are the same bird

That's better! Yes, all Reed Warblers (although, and this is very unlikely but worth a mention, a young Marsh couldn't be ruled out for certainty without much clearer images!)
