A dream patch find this morning on my urban Oxford patch, with the second Marsh Tit in 6 years completely eclipsed by a #patchtickebird.org/checklist/S1...#UKbirding#patchgold#Oxonbirding
In 5 years, Cattle Egret has gone from county rarity to established breeder. Still good to see two with these cows on a family walk near Thrupp today (with fond memories of the Scop’s Owl). Also Grass Snake & Banded Demoiselles (photo by my 12-year old) by the canal #UKBirding#Oxonbirding
The start of a new era for Oxon bird data? Very positive meeting with (l-r) Glen Pascoe, Jon Uren, Peter Pool (hidden!) and Ian Lewington at Farmoor today. Excited to see what develops over the next few months 🤞🏻#Oxonbirding
The wet winter has changed the habitat for my BTO Waterways Breeding Bird Survey near Cuddesdon. Record counts of gulls, plus Little Egret, Yellow Wag, Cuckoo & Mandarin. Fewer woodland species, with the woods flooded and access limited #oxonbirding#ukbirding
Fantastic to hear this newly arrived Grasshopper Warbler singing in urban Oxford this morning: macaulaylibrary.org/asset/617255...#ukbirding#oxonbirding@friendlyevalley.bsky.social

The first Hooded Crow seen in Oxfordshire since 1982 was found at Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, this morning. No sign sign since, but it is being looked for. #Oxonbirding#ukbirding 🪶
