This weekend, we mainly spent in North Warwickshire....
Yesterday, after receiving money for Christmas, we decided to take the opportunity to travel up to North Warwickshire to upgrade my binoculars at Focus Optics.
En route, we took in Lea Marston and Shustoke, firstly missing the Long Tailed Duck at Lea Marston but managing to find two Great Northern Diver at Shustoke (both were at the east end trying to avoid the sailing that was occuring). After securing my new pair of bins and handing my old pair to my birder's wife, we returned home via Lea Marston but still could not find the Long Tailed Duck there.
Today, we took the Capt up to North Warwickshire with us and visited Lea Marston again and finally managed to connect with the Long Tailed Duck, along with a female Scaup and a Whopper Swan just up the road.
A quick trip to Brandon on the way home gave us our first owl of the year (Barn) plus a Tawny hooting in the distance.
