I had to pop over to Hertford to pick up a payment, so whilst I waited I spent nearly an hour wandering around King's Mead:
see here
Usual suspects in the shape of gadwall, mallard, coot, little grebe and moorhen with several tufties, a solitary male pochard and a fly in little egret. A check of the gulls showed they all to be black headed or lesser black backed. However, plenty of sedge warblers, few blackcaps and my 1st whitethroat of the year. Yr lister 157.
In all, a pleasant 45 minutes, but no grasshopper warbler that had been reported.
