Oxon Long-tailed Shrike Twitching Info

LONG-TAILED SHRIKE still (for the 12th day) on the Glos./ Oxon border about here (opens in Streetmap).

Parking in field here (link opens in Google maps) with £5 donation suggested. Walk north for about 1/3 of a mile to view along the footpath hedge

 

Parking in red hatched area. Please approach the parking from the south otherwise you will be driving through the middle of the twitch along the road.

Walk north (yellow dotted line) to view from the yellow circle. The bird (blue line) works it's way up and down the hedge and along the county border (silver line). Apparently the hedge and wall itself  where the bird often sits is just in Oxon.
