A litter pick on Cholsey Marsh this morning with Mark Bradfield of BBOWT and Phil Dyson, a fair bit of rubbish found including a large gas canister and discarded fishing line.
Some rubbish found that had presumably been dumped from a parked car last night and just chucked out of a car a few feet from a rubbish bin.
What I would like to say about people who do that I will not write here!
Please use the bin or take it back with you!
Back to the wildlife: several Tufted Duck flushed from the river by the sculling crews early on.
4+ Chiffchaff in song, a couple of Reed Bunting and a Corn Bunting nearby.
2 Water Rail heard and a Kingfisher flew upstream, a Great-crested Grebe on the river and a single Lapwing flew over.
Mammals: Roe Deer.
Butterflies: 4 species on the wing, Brimstone, Red Admiral, Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell.
