November 16th 2008

Not the best of days – overcast and drizzle becoming drier and brighter to show Dave’s friend the valley, Draycote and Brandon Marsh.
Two Buzzards at Woodbine Farm and 500+ Fieldfare was all we could muster in the valley and Draycote Water from farborough bank had the Red-necked Grebe and at least two of the 5 Great-northern Divers with a few Goldeneye out in centre. Brandon Marsh was a little more productive with 44 Snipe, 3 Goldeneye, 20 Siskin, 4 Jay, 2 Lesser Redpoll, Treecreeper, 21 Long-tailed Tit and 2 Coal Tit but we missed the Nuthatch and Marsh Tit.
Patch News – Mark Phillips had the Little Owl this afternoon by the double barns, Flecknoe Rd and yesterday a Peregrine was seen perched near Sawbridge.
