Looking at BWPi, Moorhen's do indeed spend time in trees up to 300m from water, so I guess yesterday's individual was just about within range of a pond!

A late afternoon stroll round Tottenhoe Park was enjoyable with plenty of Yellowhammers and a female Stonechat, in habitat surrounded by houses and factories.

A fairly large plot of bare earth, presumably destined to becoem another factory, or car park looks promising for Wheatear etc later in the spring.
