Otmoor Tuesday 15th

As previously reported the bittern was seen again today.
It was seen by volunteers as they drove down the diagonal track. Views should be possibly from the bridleway, as this is the second report now of the bird on Greenaways.

A merlin was spotted flying across the fields south of Closes, and also seen from the offices in Beckley flying parrallel with Common Road.

WeBS count from the 14th:

800+ wigeon
280+ teal
22 pintail
500 lapwing
200 golden plover
1 woodcock (car park field)
7 barnacle geese
1 heron
3 snipe
34 shoveler
4 little grebe
