Had a great morning at Otmoor yesterday. Ebird list HERE. Finally saw a Bittern as one moved over the reed bed, two Common Cranes were feeding out on Greenaways, adult Marsh Harriers were still around but it looks like the four or five juveniles have moved on, had one Turtle Dove and then checked Long Meadow where there were at least four Redstarts.
