A bit of a washout today………………………However I stayed out for a few hours, got thoroughly wet and managed to connect with a few bits and pieces.
Lollingdon Hill: Quiet, 4 Reed Bunting (2m, 2f), 2 Blackcap, and the usual Corn Bunting and Yellowhammer.
Cholsey Marsh: 2 Sedge Warbler, 1 Reed Warbler, 1 Willow Warbler, 4 Chiffchaff, 1 Cetti’s Warbler, 2 Water Rail and an Egyptian Goose flew upstream.
Garden: 4 Blackcap still present, 1 Siskin, a Coal Tit and a Willow Warbler and a Chiffchaff in the meadow.
2 House Martin over the garden yesterday.
2 Egyptian Geese on the flood near Bunk Bridge (Richard Broughton).
Barn Owl post-mortem.
One more thing, I got the post-mortem from the showy Barn Owl from last November that ended up having its head nibbled off by a Red Kite – it was female, all organs were normal (no sign of contamination), but it was very thin, so as expected it was starving, probably not helped by that wing injury. (Thanks Richard).
