This is a small wetland marsh reserve managed by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. Typical Reed bed habitat is found here with the associated Warblers, Reed Buntings, Cuckoos etc.One Cuckoo was heard calling but I didn't spot it.
Soldier Beetle - Cantharis pellucida
So named not because of any war like tendencies but because their black and red markings are reminiscent of 19th century military uniforms
Ichneumon Wasp - not sure which
Ichneumons are a group of parasitic wasps which lay there eggs in the larvae of moths,butterflies and hoverflies
Cardinal Beetle - Pyrochroa serraticornis
Note the serrated antennae and the all red head
Damselfly...
Can't quite identify which species
Leucozona Lucorum - Hoverfly
Grey Heron - Ardea cinera
