Out with Dave this afternoon to Draycote Water and it was deader than dead. Met up with Stephen in cafe and Mark and his dad on toft bank. Little Gull still in toft bay. A ride round the grandborough valley was more productive with a Peregrine hunting Starlings over the Hill Road and the Stonechat has returned for its fourth winter to Grandborough Fields Farm. Decided to return to Draycote water for the roost and shocked myself by finding my earliest ever Iceland Gull by three weeks with a second winter individual in the roost along with first winter Med Gull and 3 first winter Yellow-legged Gulls. The Iceland could be one of last winters first year birds returning tho early birds tend to move through.
