Gardening done for this week so a few hours spent around
Lollingdon and the hill today, no Wheatear but a couple of goodies in the shape
of two Whinchat (1♂ not sure on the other, too sunny) on
the hill that disappeared as quickly as they appeared to arrive! (There have been several on the downs near
the hill recently).
The hill also had three Whitethroat
and a Pied Wagtail present but not a
lot else.
A Lesser Whitethroat
singing in the meadow to the north of the hill along with a Whitethroat, two Blackcap, a Chiffchaff
and several Stock Dove cooing away.
Good butterfly numbers today with Brimstone, Small White, Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell.
TW had a Holly Blue
yesterday near the 4 Arches railway bridge, also the Harris Hawk seen again along with several Reed Warbler and Garden
Warbler.
Also another report of a good passage of Swallow and House Martin along the Thames.
The Mallards
visiting the garden frequently, feeding and resting up, also Moorhen, Stock Doves and a Song
Thrush frequent and a Blackcap
and Chiffchaff in the meadow.
