Soggy Otmoor.....

26 Dec - The highest water levels I have ever seen at Otmoor, and impressive aerobatics from the wader flocks - c2000 Golden Plover and c3000 Lapwing, also 9 Snipe flew over. Good numbers of dabbling ducks included 3+ drake Pintail among the Teal and Wigeon. A Chiffchaff was calling in the hedgerow, and a couple of Reed Buntings present.
