Sunny spells, showers, 10º, light SW, felt cool in the wind.
Lollingdon was alive with song and other bird sounds today, Fieldfare, Redwing and Starlings were in the tree tops and chattering away, several Skylark were in the air in song, a few Robins at various points around the hill singing, also several other species in song.

Quite a spring like day today in the sunshine and a new Stonechat found on Lollingdon hill
today (and with another yesterday in the east of the village) suggests some
early spring movement starting. Also on the hill were a small flock of Fieldfare and Redwing with a couple of Starling,
4 Red Kite and a single Buzzard.
A few Skylark in
the air and in song and 5 Robins all
in song in various spots around the hill, a Yellowhammer, 2 Grey
Partridge and 4 Red-legged Partridge
also noted, also noted in song today were Great
Tit, Blue Tit, Chaffinch and Wren.
The fields to the north held a larger thrush flock of
several hundred birds, mainly Fieldfare
and Redwing and around 50+ Starling, also 10+ Blackbird and a few Song
Thrush along the hedgerow.
A marked reduction in the number of gulls seen today with
80+ Lesser Blackbacks, no
Black-headed Gulls and no Lapwing in the area again.
2 Coal Tit in the
garden this morning (1 in song) and both Green
and Great-spotted Woodpeckers heard
and a Peacock butterfly in the
garden.
