Another mild night with 4 Winter Moth’s in the garden trap. A wander round the valley with Dave produced 5 Raven and a Fox on the sheep carcass along with 18 Magpies while nearby a Buzzard, Kingfisher and another Fox but no sign of any owls.
Draycote was blustery with 3 Great-northern Divers off farborough bank along with the Red-necked grebe and another Great-northern off valve tower. Among the 500+ Black-headed Gulls in fields below farborough spit were a second winter and last nights first winter Med Gull that still has some juvenile plumage on head and mantle. The gulls were very jumpy and after meeting up with Kevin Grewcock and finding the male Smew off toft bank we were lucky enough to have a male Merlin go past. Lawford Heath had 2 Peregrine, 3 Buzzards, Tree Sparrow, 40 Skylark, 20 Yellowhammer, 120 Collared Dove and 500 Fieldfare near Rookery Hall.
