August 19th 2008

Another blustery day at Draycote Water with gusts of up to 25mph when the occasional rain fronts came in this morning. Dunlin and Common Sandpiper 2 in biggen bay, Artic Tern off shore and the Goosanders 5 still present. At least three Wheatears on farborough bank with 2 females and immature male before enjoying a coffee watching the many Swifts and 50+ Sand Martins feeding low over the water. On the way home a partial summer plumage adult and two immature Sanderling’s were in toft bay.
Rest of afternoon spent doing my domestic slog on the ironing board watching Bullfinch, Greenfinch and Willow Warbler in garden.
