As birding is quiet I went to the local garden centre which gave me a chance to see 45 Waxwing perched on tv arial’s in Lawford Lane, Rugby before they wander around the Cawston Estate and on Lawford Heath there were 16 Wigeon flying over east, 6 Buzzard, 12 Fieldfare, 2 Jay, 3 Tree Sparrow and 8 Yellowhammer.
Back home 6 Buzzard were soaring over the garden followed by a Raven and Sparrowhawk then it was off to look for orange underwing again as Dave had not seen either species and rewarded with an Orange Underwing sunning its self on the entrance track and 30+ Light Orange Underwing later on. A Chiffchaff calling and plenty of butterflies especially Peacocks seen.
