Farmoor : Water Pipit and Black Redstart.

The good period continues with a Water Pipit which was first seen on the 13th October still present on the 21st.This is the first record since the 14th November 2019. A late afternoon visit to see the Black Redstart which was reported early afternoon. I spent 10 minutes  scanning the water treatment works where it had been found, but with no luck. My luck was soon to change when on returning to the car park I saw the Redstart sat on the picnic table outside the yachting club.

Farmoor Update : 11th October.

Four Whooper  Swan that were found mid morning and stayed all day could be the highlight of  the month. Other noteworthy birds seen this month are Great White Egret, Sandwich Tern and a Little Owl.
