26th Oct - High cloud, almost still, 15C

Yesterday’s Razorbill at Draycote Water was picked up dead today, as is often the case for auks and the like blown inland.

Willey; this morning very little was stirring in the cloudy still,conditions, only a few Redwing came over. The local Mistle Thrushes were visiting the various Holly trees for the berries.
During the late morning I spent some time watching the feed station, most entertaining. A male Great spotted Woodpecker on the peanuts, Nuthatch, at least 3 Coal Tits, 2 Greenfinch, Goldfinch were among the visitors.

Shawell Lagoons; I checked here this morning, but still very little in and the Gulls were very jumpy.  A Cormorant and Little Grebe on the north pool, the number of Common Gulls is increasing, I counted at least 10 during my visit.  A Buzzard and Kestrel were flying over, this may have been part reason for the Gulls being jumpy.
