Black-winged Stilt in Oxfordshire.....



12 April - An evening visit to Standlake, west of Oxford, after work, and good views of the Black-winged Stilt found there today (photos), it flew close in when chased by Lapwings. Also there - LRP, Common Sandpiper (my first of the year) and 2 Redshank. A pair of Red-crested Pochard were out on the lake. Photos, courtesy Oxon Birdblog.
In the morning, a quick stop at Waterhay reedbed produced my first singing Reed Warbler of the year.
