Starlings, a scarcity (in the garden).

Sunny, 16º, light wind.

For the last few days several Starlings have appeared in the garden (max 4 ad and 1 juv) and a couple of adults have been foraging and collecting food in the garden for the last three days so presumably nesting nearby. The five that turned up are the first in the garden since last autumn, will see if they stay around! Quite a few around the village so far this spring.

Elsewhere has been rather quiet with little on Lollingdon hill except for the local breeding species, Cholsey marsh very similar.

A Speckled Wood butterfly in the garden on Thursday was the first of the year and at least two Hedgehog regular in garden.

A pair of Yellow Wagtail on Cholsey hill.
