The lousy weather this morning brought in to Draycote Water a partial summer plumage Sanderling on toft bank and a Little Ringed Plover in toft bay where the remains of an immature Mute Swan carcass had been picked clean by scavengers.
Also around were many young Pied Wagtails, 400 Swift, 100 House Martin, 2 Yellow Wagtail, Green Woodpecker, 130 Canada Geese, and Grey Wagtail.
Brandon Marsh despite more rain had Black-tailed Godwit go over heading west, Cuckoo calling and a few Reed and Cetties Warbler showing in front of east marsh hide before we decided we had enough of soggy gear.
