Abstract: \\rhile bird-watching at Salina on 26th July I977, \Ye heard frequent calis of voung birds coming from a cluster of reeds Ph1'ccgmites communis growing at the fringes of the ·water. These calls resembled those of young birds begging for food. On further investigation we saw a Reed Warbler A•crocephalus scirpaceus carrying food and observed it feeding a fully fledged young. This was later confirmed by J. Sultana who visited the area at our request. He also heard and ohs<>rved the same calls and behaviour.
