10th April - mostly high thin cloud, hazy sun at times, 14C, light S/SE

Willey 1130h

I can confirm there is a Little Owl where I mentioned on the 7th.  I saw one sitting on the tree, but it dropped down before I could 'snap-it'.

Also, Green Woodpecker calling.

At home a Pied Wagtail has been busy gathering nest material off a shed roof. 

Lilbourne Meadows; morning.

The Water rail was again on view, feeding next to the hedge in a damp patch.

A Snipe was walking in the cover - or so it thought!

A pair of Linnets feeding on the ground by the entrance gate., Blackcap singing in the corner trees area.

10 Starlings, a Red Kite over. Single Yellow Wagtail.



Misterton; morning.

Checked, just in case the Pied Flycatcher had decided to stay, but no.

A noisy and busy Nuthatch was close.




Alvecote - Mill Pool; afternoon.

I decided to check out the Hooded Merganser that has been present a few days, a female. Thought to be the one first seen in Avon, and presumed wild (currently) and no rings etc.  Good views, but I only managed a poor photo as looking in to the sunlight and a bit too far.
