Draycote Water was cloudy and blustery with very little new on the migration front. Little Egrets and Egyptian Geese still present along with 4 Common Sandpiper, Dunlin and 4 Common Tern. On the young bird front there were plenty warblers in the bridal path hedgerow with 7 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Whitethroat, 2 Garden Warbler and 2 Blackcap. At least 3 Ravens were seen from farborough bank along with 12 Buzzard and a juv Yellow Wagtail.



This was in my trap last night but remains unidentified
