Google? or phishing?

I have received an email from 'Google' with the following message:-

Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened.

with an invitation to click on:-

https://accounts.google.com/[email protected] &continue=https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity?rfn%3D5%26rfnc%3D1%26eid%3D-3882463678288718406%26et%3D0%26asae%3D2

If someone has my username and email address and my password - why would Google block it?

Should I respond - or is this a sophisticated phishing attempt?
