October 31st 2008

Still in the middle of this cold spell with a north westerly wind and temperatures struggling to reach 7 deg and as I was not meeting up with Dave today I wander over to Lawford Heath early afternoon then did the roost at Draycote Water. The heath had 3 Brambling amongst the Chaffinch flock at Rookery farm along with 6 Meadow Pipit and a male Merlin perched and taking a keen interest in the activity around the farm. Also seen were Little Owl, Red-legged Partridge 3 and Yellow-legged Gulls 2 adult.
Draycote water still had the Water Rail in the north east corner of toft shallows and one of the Shags decided to show itself to me but the roost was difficult to work and only saw 2 Yellow-legged Gull first winter and adult while over head 12 Siskin flew south. Earlier this morning I had a party of 19 Long-tailed Tits go through the garden.
