Lollingdon much the same as yesterday as far as thrushes go,
however a Grey Heron to add today
and a singing Yellowhammer.
Quite a few Gulls in the air today for some reason!
Met Tony W out at Lollingdon and he added a couple of Bullfinch plus a singing Chiffchaff in a neighbouring village to
the tally.
In addition, a Brimstone
butterfly seen in the village earlier in the week, which makes 3 butterfly
species noted so far this year with a Red
Admiral and Small Tortoiseshell seen
last month.
With the weather getting warmer, there were more insects on
the wing. Several Bumble Bees, Ladybirds and many Honey Bees (probably from the
nearby hives) and they appeared to be feeding on some liquid in a container
at a field’s edge. Did not get too close as did not wish to disturb them.
A note on the fly tipping
from last week. The local council enforcement office have cleared the rubbish
this week and as well as finding financial documents they also found business cards
and the will pursue this to get a prosecution. Should not be too difficult to
track down the culprit(s).
