There I was in work on a normal Thursday. After a morning of Green Flag work we headed back to the yard in Cassiobury Park and I was about halfway between the van and the mess room when I heard the spinning coin trill of a Wood Warbler! Surely not I thought but it continued to sing and it then showed well in the garden of the neighbouring cottages.
I put the news out but then had to return to work but once back I walked out the back of the yard to see a handful of familiar faces and thankfully photos had been taken to prove I wasn’t hallucinating!
This bird was the 2nd record for the park with the previous one seen way back in May 1986. It was also my first in Herts since 2015 and anywhere since 2016.
