Visited Draycote Water this morning. Despite the almost cloudless skies and light wind there were very few visitors around. I was joined by Francoise complete with bicycle, camera and off-piste skiing jacket, along Hensborough bank. She spotted a pair of Pintail straight away. Other Draycote regulars were in fine form as Bob and Keith had located the female Red breasted Merganser on Draycote Bank. I did manage to locate 4 Dunlin for myself, which were flying around with a flighty flock of Lapwing but Bob ended up Top birder for the day with a female Common Scoter on the opposite shore from the Sailing club.
