A ♂
Long-tailed Duck at Farmoor and the
sunny weather tempted us out of Cholsey this morning, we had a meeting initially
and did not arrive at Farmoor until around 11:00, however the duck was still
there being watched by around a dozen other birders and was still present when
we left.
Other species of note that were seen/heard – Water Rail on Pinkhill, a Grey Wagtail and a Stonechat.
On the way back a rather amusing sight of a Grey Heron perched ungainly on a
telegraph wire overlooking a garden (maybe a pond) in Wooton.
100+ Golden Plover still on Cholsey hill.

A Peacock butterfly seen and 20+ Common Darter present.
There had been a
Bonxie present also but was rather poorly and captured and taken in to care,
