21st Nov - frost lastr night -3C. Sunny.very light NW, 5C

Willey; late morning.  

I noticed c50 Starlings coming onto the Church Lane hedge, they were devouring Sloes as fast as they could. 
In the Church Yard hedge near the Yew trees a male Blackcap seemed to be enjoying the warmth from the sunshine.  A few Redwings were coming and going to the Yew trees for berries.

Draycote Water; afternoon.

I had hoped to see the Red-breasted Mergansers, but they were difficult to find.
Five each Goldeneye and Goosanders were spotted, otherwise plenty of the other expected ducks.  Cormorant numbers seemed quiet large, although I have no comparative count data, but I expected the low water has something to do with it.

A flock of c20 Linnets were present, looked like they were going to roost near the park area.
