Farcet Fen first and more migrants

Oak Hook-tip, Farcet Fen, 03 Sept 06

Another garden, Farcet Fen and 5-km square first - and not an oak tree in sight of the house. There are a couple of oaks on the fen, with a few more a Holme Fen just a couple of miles away. This species apparantly also uses Silver Birch.
