There were at least 40+ Meadow Pipits this afternoon at Draycote Water including two grey individuals otherwise very quiet with Red-necked Grebe still in toft bay and one Great-northern Diver off draycote bank thou four were reported this morning and we missed the Merlin and Sand Martin seen by others. Quick trip around the valley produced 3 Buzzard, 10 Yellowhammer, 200 Fieldfare and 100 Redwing.
Another good trapping session at home with
