On Saturday Jon and I represented Salford Priors GP in the Warwickshire bird race competing against other pro-active patches.

105 species were recorded by the teams across the county and looking at the findings I think we bagged the top bird when a first year Marsh Harrier past over us heading south.

A good day was had by all but joined up area's seemed out of balance. 

The final results :-

1. Ladywalk/Coton/Shustoke                      84
2. Brandon Marsh                                      77
3. Morton Bagot/Haselor/Middle Spernal      76
4. Salford Priors                                         75
5. Charlecote                                             71
6. Earlswood                                              65
7. Draycote Water                                      64
8. Farnborough                                           58
9. The Dump                                              53

Surprise of the day was the poor result for Draycote Water. Roll on next May !
