RED-BACKED SHRIKE imm nr Lower Farm (aka Noke Farm) along northern fence line and still present at 7 pm this evening in the same spot & looks like going to roost (per Liam Langley)

Found by Oxford United Paul. This is the first twitchable bird in the county since an individual at Chimney Meadows and a previous Otmoor record both birds occurring in 2005.

Note that as parking is severely restricted in Noke, please park in the Otmoor RSPB car park and then follow the bridleway west for about 2 km past the new hide towards Noke. Take the left hand track about 100 yards towards the farm and view the fence line adjacent to Lower Farm (about here)

Also Stonechat 2 & Wheatear
