An enjoyable trip to the library


Able to cycle to the library this weekend now that the floods have receded along the Sustrans route to Abingdon. About 40 Shoveler on the floods and 120 Lapwing but the highlight was a Peregrine that put the wind up the Moorhens before conveniently settling in one of the electricity pylons.

Bumped into BB further along by the sewage works, where Chiffchaff were singing, and he directed me to the alders for Siskin. Locked onto one after a few minutes and soon after 16 flew out of the trees. They all virtually disappeared once back in the trees but still able to pick up 4 or 5.


Pondering a trip over to Calvert to try and see Bittern this afternoon.
