Just passing through to visit some long-lost British relatives without so much as a pair of binoculars, but we did find time for a walk through Bradgate park (no time to stop at Groby Pool), thanks to the nice people who gave us the 40 p we were short of for the carpark (otehrwise it would have been back to Groby Poool, where the carpark appeared to have been free). Anyway, what it's worth, 1/11/2008 coughed up a few stonechats, a raven, a lesser-spotted woodpecker, a little owl, various migrating and/or local thrushes and finches and lots of galliformes we hardly ever see in Switzerland, but which don't seem to be particularly newsworthy in Leicestershire. However, our lasting impression will be one of an interesting biotope totally overrun by dogwalkers and joggers.
...According to the LROS news page, a Waxwing was noted at Bottesford last Friday but without any further details - who's going to find the first obliging birds..?
Reports of Waxwings are slowly trickling in with two each at Barrow on Soar and Thringstone today.
