Weather has been awful, low cloud and persistent rain but it did not put me off my intention of doing the roost at Draycote Water. At least 6 Yellow-legged gulls (adult, 2 Sub adults and 3 first years) and first year Caspian Gull seen but the sighting of the day was a mixed flock of waders which circled a couple of times looking for somewhere to land this evening. The flock contained Dunlin 8, Sanderling 2, Turnstone 1, Knot and 10 birds I did not get to grips with. Also present were 5 Shag, 3 Goosander, 2 Wigeon, 10 Teal, 5 Shoveler and 2 Common Sandpiper. By the time I arrived home (after stopping off for a we dram - medicinal purposes of course)I was drenched.
