Whitethroat in the Grandborough valley and 40+ Tree Sparrows
just leaving their roost before we had the drake Common Scoter off draycote
bank, Black-necked Grebe in toft bay and the drake Scaup in biggen bay from
farborough spit, Draycote Water. Not brilliant views but saved on shoe leather,
only other birds of note were 8 Yellow Wagtail, 10 Meadow Pipit, Yellow-legged
Gull and a frustrating flyover tern which gave the impression of being a
Sandwich but got on to it to late to be certain.
After seeing 9 Raven mobbing a Buzzard over the
Northamptonshire border from Napton on the Hill we chatted with the Judge
family at Napton Reservoir before seeing 12 Shoveler, Reed Warbler and 4 Meadow
Pipit plus Southern Brown and Migrant Hawkers and the odd Common Blue Damselfly,
Speckled Wood and Vapourer moth. Tawny Owl calling close by while checking on last nights catch.
