Last night me and Dave spent an hour in the valley before going to the pub listening for Quail (have arrived just over the county border in Northamptonshire) but still no luck though we did have Stock Dove 3, Lesser Black-back Gulls 100 and a pair of Grey Partridge acting as if they had young nearby. Today has been busy getting ready for National Moth night tomorrow night checking all me traps, lights and torches work, I and my fellow moth'ers are running 18 traps so here's hoping. Hobby over garden mid-day and Greenfinches on feeders and while having coffee and cake this afternoon at Draycote Water we could only find a Buzzard and a very obliging Garden Warbler.
