Out with Bob this afternoon working Napton on the Hill for migrants but the North West wind put paid to any fresh arrivals. Only birds of note were a group of 12 Fieldfare near the dip and one in the quarry, Peregrine over, also a few Chiffchaffs, 8 Buzzard, Great-spotted Woodpecker, 2 Mistle Thrush and 2 Coal Tit.
From the hill the distant views of Napton Reservoir produced 32 Mute Swans which is a very impressive number for this location and time of year.
Coming back home via the valley was fruitless and a brief look at the pond produced zilch though Bob had both divers wing stretching earlier in the day so perhaps they are finally getting ready to leave.
