July 13th 2010

Draycote was dull and overcast with a cool easterly breeze but at least there were a few more birds around than of late. At least 3 Little Egrets were still around with one in biggen bay and 2 in grays barn, 5 Common Sandpiper, Egyptian Goose and adult Yellow-legged Gull. The supporting cast included 150 Swift, 40 Swallow, 12 Sand Martin, 3 Buzzard, 11 Mute Swan and 6 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
On the wall of the visitors centre there were 6 Common Footman, Buff Footman and 2 Yellow-tail.
I have posted a few of Bob's moth pictures under the 10th July blog and a few more here.
