August 22nd 2008

Draycote Water was not the place to be today. Its bad enough having to put up with walkers and Joe Public disturbing everything now a few visiting birders have decided to work the lower farborough bank where migrants usually feed up and rest after being disturbed from the upper banks. Not sure of the ethics these people work under but its pretty upsetting watching them dis-respect the birds, your patch and the effort you put in. Common Tern 4 and Buzzard 2 before we gave up. Luckily grandborough valley was a haven in comparison with a stunning Peregrine attacking the extremely large mixed corvid flock and many Stock Doves.
