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.
