Went to Draycote Water this afternoon with the light rain building up steadily and by the time I had left the roost it was coming down well. There were 12 Siskin in toft shallows and male Ruddy Duck near the willows in grays barn. Well spread out around the reservoir were 18 Snipe, 36 Goldeneye, 8 Shoveler and 24 Gadwall. Red-necked Grebe off farborough bank and 2 Great-northern Divers out in centre and as dusk fell at least 35 Goosander came late into roost. The gull roost had both second winter Iceland Gull and first winter Glaucous Gull along with adult winter Med Gull and adult Yellow-legged Gull from biggen bay. Also seen were Treecreeper, 17 Golden Plover over, Sparrowhawk, 2 Jay, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Grey Wagtail, 6 Bullfinch, 12 Long-tailed Tits and Kingfisher.
