Draycote Water faired a little better with 2 Great-northern Diver, Shag, Red-necked Grebe and male Smew off farborough bank but nothing new has arrived for awhile now. A female Merlin was seen on Lawford Heath on the way to Brandon Marsh which unfortunately was dead apart from 3 Coal Tit and female Goldeneye.
Decided to visit the May Lane/Addison Rd junction for yesterdays Waxwing but no sign and with busy dinner time traffic I was certain we had no chance until I spotted 5 resting in tree on the opposite side of the road to where they are feeding. Quick phone calls soon had Mark, Mason, pa Phillips, John, April and Bob present but we then had to go as dinner was ready.

Five is my second highest count in the county.
