Can anyone tell me a bit about the history of Abingdon Sewage Works as a birding site? I am working on the diaries of Charles Elton and he refers to going there with his son to look at birds in the 1950s and 1960s, but how has it changed since? Is it still a 'regular' spot to visit? (Note I am a botanist, not an ornithologist).
The County Birding Sites above are incomplete and difficult to understand for an "outsider" unfamilar with the county, it would be good to see consistency on each like. Port Meadow has no map; Otmoor is complete; Farmoor also complete; Radley has a missing map link; Lower Windrush is complete; Chinnor also complete. Yes, I can go Google my heart out but it would be nice to have everything to hand. Thanks. D
