The valley was pretty wet after so much rain. Farm buildings just outside Willoughby on the road to Sawbridge held 70 Chaffinch, 2 male and one female Bramling, 16 Tree Sparrow while the adjacent maize field had two Corn Bunting.
Between Sawbridge and the Old Railway Station Cottages a very bedraggled Barn Owl was still hunting at mid-day and flushed a couple of Snipe. Grandborough Fields Stonechat still present and a distant Raven, Napton Reservoir was pretty dead apart from a burst of song from a Cetties Warbler which gave only poor views.
Little Egret flew across the River Leam at Kites Hardwick towards the back of Golf Range and must be the one doing the 'grand tour' of the south west side of Rugby. Ivy covered trees by the bridge had a well hidden Little Owl with just its head showing.
