Marsworth Bittern (30th December)

A brief trip to Tring for a walk around Marsworth and Startop's End Res with Ephraim, Dad and Theo.  We caught up with the local Bittern fairly easily as it was perched up in the reeds on the far side of Marsworth soaking in the late afternoon sun.  We left before evening set in but did catch the beginnings of the Corn Bunting roost with 16 birds appearing in the tall ash trees before diving down into cover.
