 | | A very windy and cold day, but made better by seeing 5 Short-eared Owls.
Other species seen were a flock of around 40 Skylark and a few singletons, also Meadow Pipit, Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer, Stonechat, Peregrine, Kestrel and several Buzzards and Red Kites. Well worth the 4 hours up there.

2nd stop was Farmoor reservoir. Pretty quiet there except for Water Pipit, Shelduck, and a Green Sandpiper. Also... | Commander of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 2

| | | Went to Little Wittenham Wood today, a small nature reserve near me. Comprising of Broadleaf and coniferous woodland + some open areas of grass land sitting below an Archaeological site dating from the Broze Age (Wittenham Clumps). It is also bordered by the River Thames. Its a good site for Birds, Fungi, Mammals and Insects.
Below is a list of birds seen or heard in a 3 hour visit. I also found 6 species of Fungi which includes Green Elfcup and saw a Muntjac Deer and Fox.
