A brief look around the marina after this mornings rain before heading off to Draycote Water produced an unusual visitor, a
Great Crested Grebe. We do occasional get them wandering into the marina, most likely from Napton Reservoir, which is situated on the opposite side of the canal.

A few hours at Draycote Water this evening to take a look at the gull roost. As luck would have it in the company of John Judge
@draycotebirding Keith Barnsley
@Peregrinkeith Bob Hazell
@bobhazell and Keith Foster. Unfortunately no sign of the recent Glaucous and Iceland Gulls but thankfully John saved the visit with a 2nd winter
Caspian Gull. The long staying drake
Smew was also viewed offshore of the sailing club!
