Dotted Chestnut, Dunchurch
On the birding front Draycote Water was far too busy with walkers etc so gave it a miss and checked on Napton Reservoir managing Green Sandpiper on the small reservoir, 2 Cetties Warbler, 6 Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff, 2 Raven, Sparrowhawk and 4 Buzzard while Napton on the Hill had female Brambling, 12 Redwing, 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker, 4 Goldcrest, 5 Mistle Thrush and Little Owl.
Cawston Waxwings still grace the estate with up to 70+ seen today.

For some of us there's nearly always too many walkers at Draycote - you're right that Napton's an all together more peaceful proposition! Nice haul as well, ages since I've seen either sandpiper there - and I've long wanted a brambling from the hill. Remind me to ask next time I see you where these little owls keep hiding!
You should have seen um today - zillions - not good for my health - couple more degrees and they will be round in bra and pants and thats just the men
