Tring etc - 29.4.23

 It was the Herts bird club patch challenge competition weekend and after winning it last year I was keen to retain my crown so I was up at 4am and on site just before 5. 


Cuckoo

The walk around Wilstone saw my first Cuckoo, Swift, Lesser and Common Whitethroat and 3 Common Sandpipers.
Terrapin

At Marsworth I added Reed Warbler to the year list and on Tringford I noted a Terrapin!

Pitstone Quarry held a pair of Little Ringed Plover and a Phylloscopus Warbler than was singing both Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler!

Mediterranean Gulls

Even though College Lake isn’t in Herts I still popped in to see the pair of Mediterranean Gulls for the other patchwork challenge I’m taking part in.
