Possible start of a cold weather movement with 20 Golden Plover and 2 Bewick's Swan heading south west over garden this morning. Coal Tit on feeders.
Dave picked me this afternoon for coffee and cake at Draycote Water and a chance to catch up with Bob Hazell before we went for a walk along farborough bank. Certainly felt the chilly south easterly wind and very little to report apart from 600 Lapwing floating around and back at the car the over wintering male Merlin flew past in hunting mode. Grandborough Valley was quiet with a few Redwing, Fieldfare and 2 Buzzard - it was that quiet I nodded off - sorry Dave. A Barn Owl has been seen along the Southam Road, north of the Draycote Water entrance so will go looking for that tomorrow - probably one of the Toft Farm birds seeking out new hunting grounds.
