Cloudy with hazy sunshine and a little cooler than of late,
18º, light SSW.
Jays.
More Jays seen today with 9 in a short stretch of hedge on
the south side of the hill and they flew off towards Kingstanding hill and the
downs. Another 1 flew into trees on the north side of the hill, at least 2 more
seen and heard further back and another 2 flew from a hedge on the east side of
the hill making a total of at least 14 and all moving in a southerly direction. So with TW’s sighting yesterday makes a total of
at least 26 in 2 days. Is there a movement of Jays in the county?
A Stonechat, 2 Wheatear, a Redstart (diff from
yesterday) and 4 Chiffchaff on the hill, 6 Meadow Pipit and 4 Swallow over.
2 Kingfisher
nearby.
A Mistle Thrush

A Redstart behind
my garden along the brook. Also 6 Grey
Wagtails coming into roost. (per RB).
Cholsey Marsh; much the same as yesterday + a large Tit flock
including a couple of Goldcrest and Treecreeper plus a Hobby overhead. (minus the Jays) (per TW).
Dragonflies; a Southern
Hawker and several Common Darter.
Butterflies; a few Small
White and Speckled Wood, 2 Peacock and 1 Red Admiral.
