Cholsey, 23rd Aug

Cloudy, a few sunny spells, 22º, light SSW.

Cholsey Marsh was rather quiet, a Reed Warbler, a Sedge Warbler and approx six Chiffchaff, also two Blackcap, a Willow Warbler and a Whitethroat, several Bullfinch and Great-spotted Woodpecker.
Along the river, a Kingfisher flew to the opposite bank, a pair of Mute Swan with two Cygnets on the river and a Grey Heron flew downriver.

There was a Hobby circling over the small wood at Bow Bridge and a Cormorant in the usual tree near Bow.
No sign of the flycatchers at Lollingdon, a Willow Warbler, several Chiffchaff, a Blackcap and two Whitethroat. A Peregrine circling north of the hill with two Buzzard.

Brown Hawker and Common Darter dragonflies around in numbers today and Banded Demoiselle along the river.
