Morning at Otmoor

Since last time I was at Otmoor RSPB reserve they have built a hide overlooking ashgrave field. From this I watched 2 hobbies chasing dragonfly around the pools and another sat on a fence post for at least 2 hours. Other birds seen from the hide were wigeon, teal, a little egret, Red kite, lapwing, female stonechat, single Raven. Walked along the screen walk to the 1st screen (flying snipe, kingfisher) then the 2nd (very quiet apart from 3 squabbling herons). Several cettis were heard singing from both the bridleway and the screen walk. 2 Great spotted woodeckers, a jay, flocks of skylarks and hirundines flying over were also seen. One coal tit was at the feeders and a male stonechat was on the path back to the car park.
