Finally something different for a change to report when a female/immature Crossbill flew over Southam Road (A426) a mile south of the M45 heading towards Toft, Dunchurch and part of the influx that’s been spreading south and east over the last few weeks.
Draycote Water still has the plastic Cape Shelduck, at least 2 Common Sandpiper, Little Ringed Plover and a Dunlin. Also present were 4 Sand Martin, 2 Garden Warbler, Yellow Wagtail, 2 Whitethroat, 3 Lapwing and 4 Green Woodpecker. Moths found around the visitors centre included Common Rustic, Blood-vein, Large Yellow Underwing and 2 Dingy Footman while M45 bridge over the service road had a roosting Eyed Hawk-moth.
Second visit this evening and Oystercatcher was present along with adult and sub-adult Yellow-legged Gull in roost. Roost has at least 300+ larger gulls. Toft bay had possible Daubentons and Pipistrelle at dusk along with a Magpie Moth.
