And today, drying its huge wings at the bottom of the Mill Field, a cormorant.  Until a dog walker happened along....  c'est la vie...  hope it found some fish.

Seen again this afternoon, just downstream of the road bridge.  Perhaps a new resident...

Yes, we have seen it too today, in the location mentioned by Tony below, as we walked to the Cornbury lake and back.

Seen again early yesterday - at 200 yards, best I could do!

There are very often little egrets down by the bridge into Cornbury.

It was visible standing in the field downstream of N Lodge drive on Friday afternoon. Still there when I returned from a walk along the Park fence, then took off as I was back on the drive.

Saw one from the bridge in the summer, standing motionless down river.

For any twitchers among you, I watched this morning as a rare Great White was seen off by our resident Grey from the 'puddle' (which rises with rainfall) in the middle of the field between the cricket ground and the river.  Only the second time I've seen one here....
