Souldern Wharf: a field of Marsh Marigolds

The floods that covered much of the Middle Cherwell Valley well into April have receded back to leave a small pool and well filled ditches.  One field at Souldern Wharf sits particularly wet and has really come to life - with a glorious expanse of Marsh Marigold.

not too many birds around, but included this Stonechat and a pair of Shelduck
A few other recent highlights:
Great-crested Grebes "weed dancing" at Boddington Reservoir
One of two Arctic Terns that graced Boddington Reservoir for a while on Saturday afternoon
