TOTAL NUMBER OF SPECIES RECORDED IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND COMBINED IN 2011

BLACK-WINGED STILT in OXFORDSHIRE

The male BLACK-WINGED STILT found in Oxfordshire at 1100 hours this morning was still present this evening and showing very well just to the left of the first hide on Pit 60. The bird is at the new reserve at Standlake Common, just west of the A415, accessed on foot from Langley Lane.

Parking is very restricted and is best performed in Shifford Lane nearby. Walk back to the crossroads and back south down the A415 for about 220 yards before walking right into Langley Lane and down there for 500 yards to the hide

It represents only the second county record
