Last nights mothing session at Combrook was eventful to say the least though on the species side we did not get as many as we had hoped for though numbers were very high but we did have 12 Roe Deer wander pass. Just don't mention mud to Dave so too cut a long story short Dave dropped me off at home at 2.15 and we were back out in time for Draycote Water to open at 7. A walk out to toft bay was slightly marred by the mist but managed Wheatear, Turnstone 2 juveniles, Yellow Wagtail 6, Yellow-legged Gull sub-adult and Shags 2 on fishing platforms. Joined by the Hall brothers in toft and added Wigeon, Teal 3 and Shoveler 4 but no sign of any terns and met up with Di on the way back.
Usual breakfast at Long Itchington and then it was on too Brandon Marsh where fatigue took over and as we had the east marsh hide to ourselves - nodded off only to be woken from my horny slumber by hundreds of snappers setting up. Green Sandpiper 2 and a few Whitethroats seen when the eye balls did stayed open. Rain started just after mid-day so called it a day. Many thanks to FF for your moth sightings - I am just about to up date my records so very much appreciated.
