John was at the reservoir yesterday morning and confirmed a real White Wagtail with some good quality photographs.
Mark visited in the day and had the first Sedge Warbler of the year singing from Bramble scrub along the river and two White Wagtails.
Early evening John, Mike and I met to discuss breeding bird surveys of the Upper Cherwell Valley and there was a great gathering of hirundines at the reservoir. Mostly Swallows but there was also eight House Martins and several Sand Martins. John had a Yellow Wagtail and we also had a White Wagtail and at least four Grey Wagtails.
