Three Willow Tits seen and heard north of Claydon on the bridleway to Wormleighton Reservoir today. (per Paul, Banburybirds Yahoo Group).
Claydon is in the very northern tip of Oxfordshire, with Wormleighton over the border into Warwickshire. Wormleighton has a few pairs of Willow Tits breeding each year and the area around here just into Oxfordshire would be a prime location for anyone to target if they still need to see one in the county (before it's too late!). For the record, I haven't seen one at Grimsbury Reservoir since September 2012.

7 Waxwings still at Cedar Close at 2.45p.m (per R.B.A) Goosanders Boddington Reservoir is still 98% frozen but despite this the Goosander flock had increased to 35 today. Also of note a Kingfisher perched over the outflow stream at the south end. Wormleighton...
