Otmoor in November

12 Nov - A sunny November day, a good selection of birds at an early winter Otmoor with flooding beginning to accumulate. Big numbers of Golden Plover and Lapwings performing shimmering aerobatics in the sunlight. Also a pair of Marsh Harriers over the reedbed, at least 10 Red Kites, several Water Rails squealing, and 35 Snipe roosting on an island fairly near the bridleway.The GND still present at Farmoor.
