That was a shock - the shadows in the main photo initially looked like Typha latifolia.

Leaves look like Typha orientalis but really needs to fruiting spike to be certain. So, for the moment, its Typha sp. (and a native species). (although invasive).

Great thanks Jane. What an amazing little spot, I'll have to go back when fruiting to confirm!
