November 14th 2008

Still five Great-northern Divers at Draycote Water with unconfirmed reports of a possible sixth which has been hard to verify as they are very mobile with three off farborough bank, one near valve tower and one between the “steps” and dunns bay. The Red-necked Grebe was by the fishing pontoon enjoying its 15 minutes of fame from the visiting photographers and the Shag was anywhere between valve tower and Y buoy. Other sightings included a dozen Lesser Redpoll, Brambling, Water Rail, many winter thrushes and Buzzard. Running short of time so me and Dave did not have time to do the valley justice and only saw a couple of Buzzards in a quick drive through.
