Near Shifford Lock
Only a short, slow chug today. We dont need to get to Lechlade until Friday so have plenty of time. Lots of bird wathing today. We saw several Red Kites, Buzzards, a Kestrel catching a vole, geese (Barnacle, Canada & Greylag) and two Little Egrets. We made a short stop for lunch at Newbridge, then on to moor up above Shifford lock. The Thames above Oxford is very different from further downstream. Much more natural and rural.
