Tring - 28.4.15

With news of a reeling Grasshopper Warbler behind the local sewage works I decided to pay a visit to Marsworth. On arrival at least 3 Swift were overhead which were a year tick up on the patch. I walked down alongside the (dry) canal which was full of water and had a Lesser Whitethroat rattle in the hedgerow. While listening out for the gropper a Peregrine flew over and eventually the gropper reeled a couple of times which was a relief!

I then popped to Wilstone and after a few minutes picked out my first Hobby of the year in the trees next to the hide.
