I noticed a few weeks ago the first pair of curlews arriving on Port Meadow, I was very pleased to see this weekend despite their estimated decline in the UK due to various reasons, a herd of at least 15 all together, they were still there today.
Where are the Parwich paparazzi with their twitching fingers I ask?Is spring around the corner, then again the last time I saw such numbers it was the very late snow 19-21st March ??David S


Where is Port Meadow?
It’s the big field that gets flooded at Ballidon Lane end.
It is the field on your left as you approach Ballidon Lane End from Parwich
The field where the mallards and, occasionnally, a heron were making themselves at home when the corner of the field was flooded earlier this year…!?
Ok got it thanks. Plenty of ducks there today!
Thank you for the photo’s John FS,
