March 28th 2008

A dull wet morning with the wind in the south south east before going to south west so not surprising when I received a call at mid-day from JJ that he had just found a female Black Redstart on the main buildings of Bilton High School, Lawford Lane, Rugby. Dave picked us up and we saw the bird feeding off the roof of the main hall before going on for coffee and cake at Draycote Water. A walk afterwards to farborough spit was rewarding with a "Scandinavian" Rock Pipit, then a Rock Pipit (both birds very wary and elusive so may have only just arrived) and a Whooper Swan adult flying over low heading north. Three Brambling on my feeders till 7:30am.
