Arrived at Draycote Water this morning before the gate had (officially) opened, meaning a wait until someone came along with the gate code, enabling me to sneak through before it closed again. I decided to walk to Toft and back with my 500mm. It was a pleasant sunny morning and some good birds gave themselves up!
A list of birds seen can be found at the end of this post but of note were: four Yellow Legged Gulls near the sailing boats; at least eight Yellow Wagtails along Farborough Bank; six Common Terns were on the fishing pontoons; six Little Egrets were in Toft Shallows; a Whinchat was below Farborough Bank, with two Tree Sparrows and two Meadow Pipits; a Lesser Whitethroat was in Toft; four Common Sandpipers flew into Toft and a Wood Sandpiper was at the end of Toft Bank before being flushed by a fishing boat.
