Severn Trent had been advertising my walk this Thursday with today’s date so I promised to be there by 11am today just in case anybody turned up. Good job as six arrived and we had a very pleasant and informative walk to toft bay and back.
Unfortunately there has hardly been any change in the birds we have been getting over the last few days so had to be content with the 2 Dunlin in toft bay, 4 Yellow Wagtail amongst the 20+ Meadow Pipits, a small party of Lapwing and 8 House Martin in the distance over Thurlaston village.
Afterwards I spent more time in the country park but very little on show and it took some to even see the local Buzzards that were out and about. Earlier when I arrived and met up with Mark we had at least 12 Skylark go over.
On the other hand this warm spell produced 2 Migrant Hawker dragonflies plus 2 Large White, Comma and 2 Small Copper butterflies and on the wall of the café looking like wind blown autumn leaves were 2 Canary-shouldered Thorn that were roosting though I could not find the Sallow that Bob had earlier.
