Early morning trip to Wraysbury with 400mm of Sigma lens

Arrived at 5:40, sun shining and not a soul about.  Walked along lake to level crossing and round to scrub. Good views of Sedge Warbler and two swans feeding on the lake.

Initially no damsel flies about but as the temperature got up they appeared. No sign of any mayflies.

Peregrine taking it easy on the pylon by the level crossing. Tried taking photos but more or less into the sun.

Finished up at about 09:00 one chap walked by as I sat on the wooden bench, that is all I saw.
On the way backed looked at the shrub that was infested by larvae last year and sure enough they are back. Only small numbers at the moment so it will be interesting to see how they develop. Last year the shrub was covered in web and all leaves eaten on 10th May.
