A morning working in the garden today, both Green and Great-spotted Woodpecker present, a Tit flock passed through
consisting of 8+ Long-tailed Tit,
several Great and Blue Tit, 2 Goldcrest, at least 1 Coal
Tit and a Treecreeper. Several
small hirundine (a few Swallow but
mainly House Martin) flocks passed
overhead and at one point alarm call went up and 2 House Martin zipped through the garden hotly pursued by a Hobby but they managed to evade capture,
and a Mistle Thrush nearby.
Around dawn this morning a Grey Heron was heard flying over and a flock of Canada Geese went over a little later.
A visit to Lollingdon hill this evening saw 3 Chiffchaff present, 12 Skylark, 8 Pied Wagtail, 10 Linnet,
3 Meadow Pipit, 14 Goldfinch, 1 Yellowhammer, a Green
Woodpecker, 9 Stock Dove, 2 Buzzard, 2 Kestrel and 6 Swallow
and 9 House Martin overhead.
Speckled Wood and
Small White butterflies still on the
wing.
Tawny Owls very
vocal around the garden recently.
