A visit to Cholsey Marsh this morning, have stopped feeding the cattle with hay now as there is plenty of grass growing. Happy Cows!
The Cuckoo was present earlier (per T&GW) but not whilst I was there.
Plenty of Sedge Warbler in song along with several Reed Warbler, Common Whitethroat, Blackcap and Chiffchaff, 1 Garden Warbler and a Cetti’s Warbler.
A Sparrowhawk and a Kestrel over the marsh and both being mobbed by Swallow and Swift and an adult Black-headed Gull up and down the river.
Great-spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker seen and a Water Rail heard.
Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Green-veined White, Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Speckled Wood.
A view from the Marsh
There was a Whitethroat and a Sedge Warbler singing in this bush!
Even though we have stopped feeding them they still recognise you and approach expectantly.
Yellow Iris
