Started well with a single Redwing calling in the trees at the north of East Marsh which was my first record in 2012 here, as well as four Fieldfare calling from these trees. Possibly all these had been roosting overnight, as I didn't see them as I returned through the area going home. 2 Greylag Geese west over here too. Goosander briefly over NE from Lockwood Reservoir plus a second bird that might have been a Merganser or Goosander. Met Terry here and both saw little Egret fly NW from Res. Terry also saw Reed Bunting here which I missed. Little Grebe in channel north of Green Bridge plus Teal and Tufted Ducks. Rest of Marshes generally quiet, male Reed Bunting at Stinebridge Wood, just one Grey Wagtail in Pymmes Brook from Cetti Bridge and Chiffchaff plus Goldcrest near Gasometer. Female Goosander in channel by Banbury Res (just east of East Bridge). On Banbury Res (no access to public) Red-breasted Merganser, four Goosander. Counted 15 different Song Thrushes singing as I walked round Marshes between 8am and 10.15.
