More on Otmoor Southern Migrant Hawkers - August

Jeremy Dexter has kindly provided more information on his recent Southern Migrant Hawker sightings from Otmoor:

9/8/24 Car Park to Pill: 11 - including 3 females (one of which was egg laying in tandem) - it was windy so numbers probably an underestimate

7/8/24 1st screen to 2nd screen: 4 including 1 female

5/8/24 Oddington track to 100 acre: 7 including 1 female

[Note also 2 males at Bernwood Forest which were just outside the county but presumably have spread from Otmoor/Whitecross Green Wood at SP61227 11466 and SP61758 11110 on 18 July].

He has also provided photos of an unusual blue-phase female (SP57209 13328 on 9 August):
