Unconfirmed report of Common Crane seen by a non-birding dog walker at Rugby Radio Station yesterday so with nothing to lose gave the area between The Locks, Lower Hillmorton and the A5 (Warwickshire boundary) a good search in the rain but no trace. There were plenty of Wood Pigeons, 50 Meadow Pipits, 20 Linnets and first winter Stonechat.
Back home mid-morning and garden visited by Chiffchaff and Coal Tit and a House Martin flew south.
Draycote Water late afternoon was very windy with Common Scoter male out in centre towards valve tower, Shag 2 on training boats, Rock Pipit on farborough bank, Pintail 2, Goosander 3, Gadwall 6, Teal 24, Common Sandpiper 2, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker 4, Kingfisher 2, Wheatear and Grey Wagtail 2.

We still have a last swallow in our garage in Dorset (out in the day but back in the roost at night) - all the other left a week or so ago. Will it go and will it survive? Anything I can do to help it or encourage it? Pls email to mike@relay.uk.com
