Farewell 2012

An awesome year, so many great birds, 2 firsts for the park, 3 DP lifers, including finding my own Wryneck but missed hearing the Quail call once. And nobody saw the Common Crane flying West to East along the A4 6th May. Ah well Otmoor pulls them about annually now, so we'll get another chance....I hope.
I also hoped in vain for Smew, but found none on my Sandford, BSL, WSL loop, just 80+ Pochard, 40+ Tufted Duck 40+, 2 Goldeneye. The Grey Heron hunched and faced into the blustery wind and looked...cold.
