January 9th 2009

My usual Friday afternoon trip to Draycote Water in lovely winter sunshine with Dave was cut short by the mist which rolled in at 2:30 Uptil then the birds seen two distant Great-northern Diver, male Smew, 6 Snipe and Red-necked Grebe off farborough bank. Bob Hazell had spent most of the morning at the pond and along with Kevin Grewcock had seen the Red-throated Diver and 4 GNDs while Kevin also managed the male Merlin and a male Blackcap. Weather looks crap for tomorrow morning with a cold night (-3 in garden already) and fog forecasted.
