Farmoor Reservoir

Farmoor is Oxfordshire's premier birding water body, famous for producing close views of passage waders and terns. The concrete banks allow Dunlin, Sanderling and Common Sandpiper to feed at close range, while Black Tern, Arctic Tern and Common Tern are regular in migration seasons. Winter gull roosts attract large numbers with occasional rarities.

Adjacent willow beds and the Thames Path add diversity, hosting warblers, finches, Kingfisher and winter Siskin. Many county birders visit weekly for systematic coverage.
