Draycote Water was cooking on gas once again with 4 Curlew Sandpiper (3 juvenile 1 adult) being reported by Bob in the morning so after a brief look I completed my neighbours garden and went back again in the evening. The Curlew Sands were on hensborough bank along with Ruff, Sanderling, 8 Ringed Plover and 3 Dunlin while the inlet had female Goosander, juvenile Wheatear, 3 Willow Warbler and juvenile Spotted Flycatcher.
There was more warbler activity in biggen bay with 7 Willow Warbler, 2 Chiffchaff, 3 Whitethroat and a Garden Warbler plus 3 more Spotted Flycatchers on the adjacent golf course. The roost was slow to build up but I eventually found adult winter Med Gull, 5 adult Yellow-legged Gull and adult Caspian Gull between biggen and toft bay.
Also seen were 2 Little Egret, Egyptian Goose, Shoveler, 2 immature Pintail, Gadwall, 33 Teal, 21 Wigeon, Yellow Wagtail, 2 Snipe plus Little Owl near grays barn and a Badger.
