There have been breaks in the low cloud today enabling a few migratory flocks of Starling and Redwing to be seen in the valley along with a Stonechat on the Hill Rd, 2 Siskin in Grandborough and a Little Owl near the double barns on the Flecknoe Rd. Also in the area were 2 Snipe, 2 Buzzard, 14 Skylark, Raven and 48 Stock Dove. Linnets, Meadow Pipits and Yellowhammers more noticeable.
Briefest of looks at Draycote Water produced Grey Wagtail, Kingfisher, Buzzard, and Lesser Scaup in toft bay. Ringed Plover juvenile in grays barn
After a late afternoon shower 4 House Martin and single Sand Martin, 14 Redwing and a lone Fieldfare flew over garden all heading south so things are on the move at last.
Tonight is calm and mild with a check on the trap a few minutes ago producing my 8th Merveille du Jour for the year.
