A few hours on Lollingdon hill yesterday and most of the Rooks and Jackdaws must have been there also with a flock of up to 500
present feeding on a recently ploughed field on the top of the hill.
At least 3 Willow
Warbler present in one of the hedgerows but very little movement noted, the
odd Swift passing over but most have
already left their breeding areas. A few Swallow
feeding overhead, a Kestrel hunting
on the hill and several Buzzard and Red Kite over the hill and a single Lesser Blackback Gull over.
A couple of Common
Tern seen along the river near Bow Bridge earlier in the week and an
increase in Black-headed Gull
movement along the river and also over the village.
The garden still busy with the addition of a Willow Warbler present in the week and
a Hedgehog visiting regularly and
several Tawny Owls also regular including
a young bird that frequents the garden.Holly Blue and Common Blue butterflies around and a few Red Admirals also present now, also Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown, Speckled Wood, Large and Small White, Comma etc.
