WOOD SANDPIPER still present




Taken through the scope - Dave Cleal's record shots of the WOOD SAND


The juvenile WOOD SANDPIPER was still present at Gallows Bridge BBOWT this morning, showing well with a Green Sandpiper in front of the hide; also 2 WHINCHATS still there (per Rod Scaife)

Last night, Warren Claydon had a juvenile MARSH HARRIER at Calvert Sailing Lake not that far away

Lots of COMMON REDSTARTS still around, including up to 9 at Rowsham, 11 on the Quainton Hills, 3 around Steps Hill and singles at Stowe and elsewhere; numerous WHINCHATS too

An OSPREY flew through College Lake on Saturday (Steve Rodwell)
