Marsh Warbler and Peregrine

After an early evening return from a non-birding weekend away in Suffolk (only bird noted was a Marsh Harrier on Aldborough Marshes), I immediately went to Amwell with Tom to see the Marsh Warbler found yesterday. Although people had waited for a long time without seeing the bird, it showed to us almost immediately. We continued to watch it on and off for the next hour or so, along with a pair of nearby Sedge Warblers.

On the return journey from Ware, another Peregrine was seen, my second in Hertfordshire within four days! Amazing records for June.
