January 7th 2009

Overnight was minus 5 warming up to minus 2 with a light flurry of snow. Cycling conditions very dodgy as I spent part of the morning working the Cawston estate and struggled to get to grips with the Waxwing flock, 4 possible’s flying over Frewen Rd heading towards the disused railway line.
This afternoon I had another go for the Waxwings eventually finding one perched briefly then went to Draycote Water even though conditions were becoming misty.
New arrivals in the shape of Jack Snipe flying around biggen bay while doing roost, male Brambling country park and first winter Iceland and Little Gull in roost. All the usual goodies still present. The roost from dunns bay had 4 adult Yellow-legged Gull, adult Caspian Gull and two first winters and one adult Med Gull.
