Shipton under Wychwood 21st April
Paul Wren has found a male Wood Warbler at Shipton under Wychwood. From the road from Chipping Norton, go past the garage and look 40 yards past the bridge over the River Evenlode in the trees by the side of the road near the pond in the garden of the manor house (here).
Present (and singing occasionally) in the same small copse from early afternoon until about 16:45 at least when it started to rain. It has not been seen since the rain started though it may well still be there and is currently being looked for.
No further sign so far by 18:10 in poor weather (
