I don’t get it - some folk are putting the Draycote Pink-footed on to there Warwickshire list. I have five records and only one (flock of 16 and 10) in 1995 that has any chance of credibility. Enter any field in Norfolk in winter where thousand hang out with a loaf of bread and they fly off, so how can a single bird that walks up to you asking for Mothers Pride be tickable.
All the regulars still present according to Bob Hazel when we met this afternoon at Draycote Water though me and Dave only saw 3 Buzzard, 200 Lapwing, Great-northern Diver, male Smew, Shag and Red-necked Grebe on our walk out to farborough spit.
Though running out of time we decided to give the valley a quick check and rewarded straight away with Merlin eating prey on a bale of hay next to the Kites Hardwick Golf range. Other sightings included 300 Starling, 400 Fieldfare, 5 Buzzard and possibly 2 Waxwing going over the car near Willoughby.
