September 25th 2009

Out with Dave this afternoon and Draycote was a struggle at first with very little about but eventually came away with 2 Dunlin in toft bay, 50+ House Martin over Thurlaston village, 5 Yellow Wagtail on farborough bank along with 2 Grey Wagtail and the Rock Pipit re-appeared with a Meadow Pipit on toft bank. Small Copper in the country park.
We decided to give the valley a quick look and found a recently harrowed field containing over 200 Meadow Pipits along the hill rd.
This evening I tried some sugaring for moths at Cock Robin but combined with clear skies and dropping temperatures only managed to attract single Large Yellow Underwing and Copper Underwing.
