Black redstart, Dieppe, August 2011

Went to Otmoor in Oxfordshire today. Saw Bullfinch, Fieldfare Redwing, Buzzard and Kestrel. Very cold- minus 2 degrees. Bracing indeed

Saw Great-spotted woodpecker, meadow pipits and female sparrowhawk quartering Wormwood Scrubs this morning.

Saw a water vole, or it might have been a rat.  

Went to Fisher Green looking for hobbies. Drew a blank but saw terns nesting
