Out mid afternoon to the valley where birding was productive with Tree Sparrow 3, Corn Bunting 2, Whitethroat and Chiffchaff between Sawbridge and Willoughby and in Sawbridge village itself there were Garden Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher and Sparrowhawk. No sign of the Little Owl at Grandborough Fields (seen yesterday by Mark) and apart from a Stock Dove, Yellowhammer and Raven along the Flecknoe Road there was little else. A long overdue visit to Napton on the Hill produced Spotted Flycatcher, Whitethroat, Blackcap 3, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Hobby, a few Chiffchaffs and the unusual sighting of a Whimbrel circling the Church before moving off west.
Late evening visit to Draycote to do roost and managed Med Gull second winter and Yellow-legged Gull adult 2 and immature 3. Also seen were Common Tern 4, Shag 5, Little Owl sewage farm, Goosander 5 and a Barn Owl was off farborough bank.
