Warburg Nature Reserve - North West of Henley on thames
Was working in Maidensgrove near Stonor and popped into this reserve yesterday for ten minuts, just enough time to look in the hide and spot Siskins, a Great spotted Woodpecker and a Treecreeper at fairly close quarters.
So I dropped back in this afternoon, no GSW or Treecreeper, but lots of other birds, all which were close enough for naked eye identification.
A highly recommended little reserve with a couple of small hides, the main one overlooking a little 10m diameter swampy pond, which is a magnet to small birds including Siskins, Redpolls, Bluetits, Great tits, Coal tits, Chaffinches, Goldfinches, a Goldcrest, Treecreeper, Wren and Great-spotted Woodpecker, all of which I saw in the last two visits.
Also a female Sparrowhawk dropped in to take on of the many small birds while I was there and a Pheasant passed by for a drink in the pond.
Warburg Reserve has a small visitor centre and public toilets, plus a small car park for fifteen or so vehicles.

A quick visit to Warburg this afternoon
Not much seen from the hide, just a few blue and great Tits, plus Siskin and Bullfinch, then a Wren on the pathway towards the hide. Surrounding area is beautiful, the other photos give an idea of what it's like.
