A visit to Lollingdon hill this afternoon proved quietish,
five singing Corn Bunting, three Yellowhammer and two Whitethroat, two pairs of Linnet present, a Great-spotted Woodpecker and
a couple of Swallow.
Done some gardening this morning and hearing high flying Buzzard (4) displaying overhead and a couple of Red Kite over, a Whitethroat
heard singing along with a Yellowhammer,
Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Goldcrest and a Mistle
Thrush, also a Great-spotted Woodpecker
calling.
Several Swallow
and House Martin feeding overhead
and the usual visitors to the garden still around, Moorhen, Mallard, Stock Dove and a brief visit from two Long-tailed Tit, and a Kingfisher flew upstream along the brook.
Other garden visitors today were Song Thrush, Carrion Crow,
Blackbird, Robin, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Wren, Wood Pigeon, Collared Dove, Chaffinch,
Greenfinch, Goldfinch,
Yesterday a Hobby over
Cholsey hill and a Yellow Wagtail
