Just what I need with 2 days to go before my trip to Gambia. Woke up feeling like death and had to be brought home early by Dave - just can,t get warm so desperately fighting some bug by dosing my self up with every potion known to man kind. Very strong winds and heavy rain last night as the low went through.
Managed to see a distant Barn Owl at Grandborough Fields Farm and the Little Egret re-appeared at Draycote Water when it was in the field adjacent the sewage farm. Interestingly it was showing a light greyish cast on its wings and mantle with a very faint tinge of buff in the bright sunlight so its identification was double checked - yellowish feet ruled out mis-identification with Cattle Egret. Also seen were Red-necked Grebe, Shag, male Smew and Great-northern Diver and just after leaving the entrance the female Merlin flew towards us heading for farborough bank. Before I called it a day we did a quick check of Lawford Heath but only saw 2 Buzzards.
