Last week had a nice out in oxfordshire starting at Farmoor Reservoir where there were plenty of waterfowl of the water with good numbers of Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe, Mallard, Tufted Duck and a super Red-necked Grebe. Further around Wigeon were out in the middle of the Reservoir and out on the edges there were a few Meadow Pipits between the Pied Wagtails which seemed to be along every bank and Fieldfares and blackbirds were feeding on the berries around the edge.
Then finished the day at RSPB Otmoor with thrushes everywhere with good numbers of Fieldfares flying over my head making there wonderful sound mixed with a few Redwing and quite a few Starling before their main roost. Then headed to the hide were had a nice pair of stonechats in the early evening light.
