7 November - first stop Farmoor reservoir, where the Great Northern Diver was showing in the centre of F2, diving very actively (photo, copyright Farmoor birding). Then on to Calvert Lakes, where I had fantastic views of a Jack Snipe - amazingly cryptic amongst the cut reeds. Probably my best ever views of this species - seen bobbing (photos x2, copyright Calvert birding). Then on to Berryfields, Aylesbury and the A41 layby - an excellent hour of raptor watching - 3 Short-eared Owls (photo), a Barn Owl and finally a ringtail Hen Harrier floated in at 4.35pm, mobbed by one of the Short-eared Owls. 2 Ravens also seen flying over to roost at 4.15pm. And there was the Red Kite over the A420 at Southmoor en route as well!
