August 13th 2009

I took the cycle route 41 to work Napton on the Hill managing Garden Warbler, 6 Whitethroat, Bullfinch, 4 Jay and 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker along the disused railway between Draycote and Birdingbury villages, Whitethroat, Sparrowhawk 14 Stock Dove and Spotted Flycatcher between Birdingbury and the Birdingbury Bridge over the Grand Union Canal. Nearby Stockton cutting had Whitethroat, Treecreeper, Garden Warbler, Jay and 12 Long-tailed Tits. A Red kite was over Napton on the Hill mid morning before it headed off North West.
All the usual butterflies and dragonflies noted today.
Bob found a Shag at the pond on the pontoons and by late afternoon it was by the inlet. Moths he found were 6 Red Underwing and a Dingy Footman around the Rangers office and the cafe had Yellow-tail, Dingy Footman, Chinese Character and Lime Speck Pug.
