Back to earth with a bump. Yesterdays strong wind has dropped but hasn't brought anything in and apart from the male Pochard, Lapwing 4, Buzzard 4 at Draycote Water the only other bird of note was some exotic duck in toft bay resembling a Hartlaub's Duck which originates from central West Africa so defiantly an escapee from some collection. Back home and the Coal Tits brought a brood in to the garden and there were two young Sparrowhawks enjoying this afternoon's thermals overhead.
