Lollingdon was exceptionally quiet today; c50 Redwing and a few Fieldfare feeding in one of the fields and a flock of c300 Thrushes
flew over towards the downs.
I then decided to go down to Cholsey Marsh for the roost,
which consisted of c150 Corn Bunting,
c50 Meadow Pipit and a handful of Reed Bunting. A few more Corn Bunting
came in as I was leaving.
Both Little Grebe
and Great-crested Grebe seen on the
river along with 100+ Canada Geese
and a couple of Teal. There were
several more Teal on the marsh.
Several Cormorant
flying up and down the river and 3 Kingfisher,
2 together and a singleton all flew upstream.
43 Lapwing flew
over towards North Stoke and a few Jay
on the opposite bank.
The usual Water Rail
heard on the marsh, a Grey Heron on
the riverbank and the first Treecreeper song
of the year heard.
Both Song Thrush
and Mistle Thrush also heard in
song.
