Sunday 30th March: Willow Warbler
After a couple of days of bad weather, at last a decent day: sunny, bright and calm.
In the morning on the Meadow there was not too much about: 2 shelducks, a drake pintail, a few gadwall, the usual widgeon, shoveler and teal and 3 ruff. A few common buzzards circling over Wytham Wood in the distance. One subsequently flew over the Meadow itself.
In the willows by the Aristotle Lane gate, a willow warbler showing well and in full song.
Later on 4 redshank and 6 dunlin were also reported as well as 3 snipe in Burgess Field. (OOS)
