March 14th 2009

I thought the Barn Owl at 5:50am hunting the area around the scrape below farborough bank, Draycote Water was impressive but the report of 5 Avocet circling the reservoir at 6:15am by a runner stunning but alas I was in the wrong place and didn't get a sniff of them. Three Great-northern Divers were out in centre heading towards draycote bank with one making a short flight and another calling while the forth was in rainbow corner along with 2 Sand Martin and Draycotes first Wheatear of the year. Also seen were Buzzard, Tree Sparrow and Grey Wagtail from draycote bank, 4 male and 2 female Goosander off inlet, Lesser Redpoll and Mistle Thrush in biggen bay and Red-necked Grebe, 6 Gadwall and 9 Goldeneye in toft bay.
