Topped up the home feeders and water and then went over to Ewelme to give them time to take effect. 2 Water Rails, Green Sandpiper and a Brambling were the best followed by a Fieldfare, a few Redwings and a Grey Heron.
Returned home to do the garden count - about the best I can say is that it was warm and I could drink coffee while I did it. Just 10 species, most noteworthy being 2 Blackcaps (male and female) a House Sparrow and a Coal Tit. The Blackcaps have been around daily for a couple of months but it was good to get House Sparrow and Coal Tit on the list as they are both very sporadic visitors.
Finished off the day with a walk along the Thames to Shillingford. Red Kite, Buzzard, Sparrowhawk, Grey Heron, Fieldfare (40), Goosander, Coot (2), Tufted Duck (4), Cormorant (2), Roe Deer (2) - still can't find Siskin.
