Trip to Farmoor Reserve - Wednesday 2nd and Friday 4th March

My first outing to Farmoor Reservoir wasa bit if a disaster in terms of the birds spotted. The very windy and cloudy weather resulted in very few birds presenting themselves to be photographed. The birds I did see at Pink Hill meadow included a Marsh Harrier, Teal, Buzzard, Kestrel and Bullfinch.

The Bittern and Great Northern Diver that were spotted the day earlier were not around.

I returned a couple of days later and managed some excellent shots of the two juvenile Great Northern Diver.

Farmoor is a fantastic facility and well worth a visit!
