Short Day Count

Yesterday, (Sunday 07/01) Gareth, myself and local birder Clive, took part in the BOS Short Day Count. We birded from 08:00am - 16:00pm in grid square SP44, covering Banbury and the area to the north, traversing Oxfordshire, Warwickshire & Northants.

We did pretty well too, getting 71 species in total, with highlights being a calling Lesser-Spotted Woodpecker, Hawfinch, Water Rail, Jack Snipe, a roosting Tawny Owl and Yellow-Legged Gull. I didn't take too many photos but here are a couple of ropey records of the Tawny Owl & the Hawfinch.
