Dave and I were out and about early and just managed to avoid the Hare sitting in the middle of the road while it was still dark but despite our efforts we failed to find any owls along the Southam rd thou we did manage a total of 7 Raven flying towards the pond and plenty of corvids, pipits and finches moving locally. Also Great-spotted Woodpecker seen and Siskin heard.
Draycote Water was again disappointing with very little activity. 20 Meadow Pipits, Grey Wagtail and 2 Green Woodpecker on farborough bank, Lesser Scaup and female Goldeneye in toft bay and Chiffchaff in country park the highlights plus a Green-brindled Crescent on the side of the visitors centre.
Lawford Heath was a lot more fun with 4 Corn Bunting, 14 Yellowhammer, 50 Collared Dove, 60 Chaffinch, 2 Tree Sparrow, Brambling, 4 Buzzard, 4 Cormorant and a Sparrowhawk seen from the old farm building on ling lane.
Brandon Marsh had 23 Pochard on east marsh along with plenty of Lapwings, Shoveler and 14 Snipe but we missed the Jack Snipe and Peregrine. The warm weather brought out at least 10 Common Darter, 2 Migrant Hawker and single Southern Hawker as well as a Vapourer Moth. A few Redwing moving west noted.
