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.
