Dave picked me up for our coffee and cake session at Draycote Water so took the opportunity to take a closer look at the Stonechats. Adult and immature male. Draycote was dire - after chatting with Bob and Mark we walked out to farborough spit and saw bugger all. This mild spell brought out Draycotes first butterfly of the year - Bob had this Brimstone


Max had this Rock Pipit still in winter plumage on farborough bank this morning


We drove around the valley but I fell asleep and missed it all and Mark went round this evening having Barn Owl and Peregrine.
