A good list of species from a couple of hours at Otmoor this morning, including the marsh harrier and two green sandpiper. Good views of a couple of snipe from the first screen. Large flocks of meadow pipit and linnet on The Closes, with a couple of yellow wagtail with them.
Star bird today was the great white egret which arrived yesterday. It flew around over Greenaways when I first arrived, and was preening in full view at the far side of the same area as I left. This is my third great white egret this year (2 in UK, 1 in France).
