Overnight rain turned frosty as it cleared. The Gull roost at Draycote Water held Iceland Gull first winter, Glaucous Gull first winter, Yellow-legged Gull 2 adult winters and a Med Gull adult winter which was well worth freezing your bits off for. The four Great-northern Divers still present (3 farborough bank and one near valve tower) along with the elusive first winter Red-necked Grebe off dunn’s bay. Also seen were Pintail female, 6 Ruddy Duck, 9 female and 4 male Goosander off draycote bank, Redshank, Common Sandpiper, Grey Wagtail, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Sparrowhawk and 14 Long-tailed Tit while a Woodcock flew towards the country park and a distant Tawny Owl heard.
