The Reed Warbler

The Reed Warbler is part of a series commissioned byFuture Places Centreat Lancaster University in collaboration withLeighton Moss RSPB.

With many thanks to Beth Fox, RSPB Leighton Moss, for embodying this Reed Warbler.

"For these little birds, the reed bed can be a challenging place to raise chicks, there are quite a lot of predators. But they're dedicated parents. I think it's lovely that the male and the female raise their chicks together. It's such a joint effort. And obviously I admire the treacherous journey that they make. I think we all have to admire that don't we."Beth Fox, RSPB Leighton Moss
