I went to Draycote water this morning to meet the ranger to discuss possible work at Stanford reservoir. So, while at Draycote I managed to view the water from the bank next to the sailing club. Just off shore a flock of Tufted Duck also obtained a female Scaup. A single Dunlin and a few Moorhen were feeding along the shore line. Out on the water Grant crested and Little Grebes, Cormorant, several Gull species, Coot, Mallard, Goldeneye, Gadwall and a single male Goosander were visible.
Several Redwing and Fieldfare were in the bushes near the car park and Pied Wagtail and Meadow Pipit were flying around. Unfortunately I ran out of time to explore further today.
In the village, at 1530h, a Sparrowhawk sat on my garden birdfeeder.
