A mid morning visit to Cholsey Marsh, 8 Warbler species
seen/heard and a Cuckoo roaming
around the marsh, 2 Willow Warblers
still singing, one on the marsh and the other on the opposite bank of the
river. Hoping they will breed this year!
Whitethroat, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Chiffchaff,
Sedge Warbler and Reed Warbler.
Several Reed Buntings
singing well and some Stock Doves
cooing (at least that’s what I interpret it as) in at
least 2 places. Also 3 Great-spotted
Woodpeckers, 2 Grey Herons and a
Kingfisher of note.
A couple of trips to Lollingdon Hill just turned up the
local species, Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer, Linnet and Skylark.
Decided to take a look at Churn, when I arrived someone else
had the same idea, as it was the young Roger Wyatt J. So for the next 2
hours or so we just stood there chatting and hoping for a decent Raptor to pass
by. Roger did have a Peregrine shortly before I arrived and from then on it was
Buzzards and Red Kites seen and a distant Curlew
heard. Cheers Rog, good to see you!
Brimstone, Peacock, Small White, Small Tort,
Holly Blue, Orange Tip, Red Admiral
and a Small Copper butterflies seen
and several Club-tailed Dragonflies, 3
Broad-bodied Chasers and many Banded Demoiselles seen along the
river.
A couple of Song
Thrush frequenting the back garden again and several Pipistrelle bats around recently.
