A joint Oxford and Vale of White Horse RSPB Local Group coach trip. The weather was warm and sunny with little wind. Around 60 species were seen, the star birds being melodious warbler (a new tick for me) and a wryneck (which I did not manage to see).
Melodious warbler.
Only a record shot. It is not a very good picture as most of the key identification features are hidden.
The little owl chillin' in the Observatory Quarry, disdainfully ignoring the crowd of birdwatchers.
