October 4th 2009

Day started with 3 Tawny Owl calling from bunkers hill wood.
On our walk out to toft bay, Draycote Water there was a Whimbrel in the field next to the sewage farm and a Yellow Wagtail among the pipits. Met up with Bob H and Steve V in toft bay hoping the Lesser Scaup would appear, it did in the end but we were long gone and all we saw were 4 Grey Wagtail, 12 Swallow, 5 House Martin and 14 Skylark.
Brandon Marsh had Nuthatch and Great-spotted Woodpecker on the visitors centre feeders, Greenshank on teal pool, 3 Snipe and plenty of duck on east marsh pool and 6 House Martin briefly. Also seen were single Chiffchaff, 7 Jay including a party of five, 6 Buzzard and 40 Common Darter.
