Farmoor 5th April
The first Red-rumped Swallow for both Farmoor and Oxon was present from 8th to 12th May 1997 when it was still an official rarity. It's become commoner in the UK since then, with some big influxes, but it's still taken 15 years for another to turn up here. The weather today was pretty much identical to May 1997, cold and horrible, but it's these very conditions that are responsible for the bird feeding at the reservoir so it may hang around.........
Also an adult Black Tern on F.1.
