The search for migrants continued at a variety of local ish venues such as Caldecote, Merevale, Shustoke,  Alvecote and Birchmoor. A single male Wheatear was at Birchmoor along with a flock of 40+ Golden Plover. A Tawny Owl was seen flying over the A5 at Caldecote early morning and another was heard calling in broad daylight near Baddesley Ensor. Also seen were 3 Little ringed plovers and Tree creepers were much in evidence at several locations. A few waders have begun moving through  Middleton Lakes RSPB, the most noteworthy being a Grey plover.
