Otmoor Red Backed Shrike 1st October

Up in the hedge (c) Bark

Found by the pond at Noke this morning by Oxford United Paul. A very smart juvenile and as is often the case with these autumn juveniles, very confiding. It was feeding from the fence and the hedge near to the large barn. It was accompanied at times by a pair of Stonechats and a very smart Wheatear.
Please use good sense and discretion around the farm and avoid parking in Noke as it is very tight in the village. The easiest way is to park in the RSPB car park and then walk along the bridleway. There is work going on in the area of the cattle pens and the bridleway so leave access for heavy plant.
