Otmoor......raptors and Purple Heron.....

24 Sept - A productive morning at a sunny Otmoor. 6 species of raptor seen including Marsh Harrier and 2 Hobbies. A cryptic flock of Snipe were resting in the reeds in front of the first screen. A short wait on the bridleway en return route was rewarded with a reasonable flight view of the immature Purple Heron over Greenaways. Well worth the trip.
