  WMBC: Review: Draycote 25   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Graham Harrison has produced a study of the Waders and Wildfowl of Draycote Reservoir to celebrate the waters Twenty Fifth Year (1969 - 94).
In this section Graham gives a short introduction to each species relating use of the water to the birds status, migration patterns and then provides graphs and commentary on Annual counts from 1970 - 1993 and on each species monthly distribution.
Altogether I consider this to be an excellent study of birds at Draycote relating, as it does for each species, the birds lifestyle, numbers, distribution and patterns of use while at Draycote.
