Relatively quiet day due to the weather. A Common Tern along the river at Cholsey Marsh, a few Sedge Warbler heard calling, several Chiffchaff, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Reed Warbler and 2 Blackcaps seen, 2 Kingfishers also present. A trickle of Swallows and House Martins feeding over the marsh and generally moving down river.
A steady movement of Gulls today, mainly Lesser Blackback Gulls (150+) and a handful of Black-headed Gulls. No particular direction of movement though, maybe looking for open fields that have been harvested or being ploughed?
A single Kestrel on Cholsey Hill and 3 on Lollingdon Hill.
The garden has been relatively quiet this week and is mainly visited by Finches at the moment, Chaffinch (4 to 6) Greenfinch (up to 8) and Goldfinch (c6), both Blue and Great Tits making up the rest.A Green Woodpecker present in the meadow.
