An enjoyable and productive trip saw 18 year ticks written into my note book. 7 Greenshank and a Redshank were sat on the barley bales at Wilstone for a while before flying off. Whilst passing Rushy Meadow I heard a reeling Grasshopper Warbler singing somewhere near the orchard. One of 3 or 4 around the reservoir this year. 3 lovely Yellow Wagtail were in the horse paddocks adjacent to Startops Reservoir and on the muddy edges of Tringford were a pair of Little Ringed Plover. At College Lake Willow Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat were heard singing. Up to 115 species for the year.
