Phragmites Reed

 
Since the restoration of the forest streams, and the subsequent natural re-wilding of the bogs and mires which feed them, Phragmites Reed or Common Reed (phragmites australis) is fast becoming re-established in wetter spots. This has been particularly noticeable over the last couple of years. The higher levels of water retention is to their liking. I like it, they remind me of reconstruction illustrations of Mesolithic and Neolithic landscapes and hunting scenes.
