Despite the awfull dull weather again,ventured out for the Bewick's Swan just out of Bretford on the A428 mixed in with the flock of Mute Swans after a few record shots i dropped in at Draycote water which was cold,wet & very quite bird wise,best bird being the fine drake Smew off Farborough bank,dropped back into Bretford on the way home where the Bewick's was still showing & then onto Kings Newham rd for the Pink-footed Goose in with the Greylags & Canada Geese also present 1 Barnacle Goose with a heavily stained (yellow)face! 2 Good Warks Year birds so not a bad morning
