A possible female Honey Buzzard seen over Cholsey Marsh on Monday by TW. Tony gave me a brief description and it fits quite well but it was only seen briefly as it passed overhead flying north.
As for today another walk out to Lollingdon. A Sedge Warbler singing at the Bullshole which is unusual and also heard yesterday by TW.
A singing Lesser Whitethroat along the brook the other side of the long tunnel and another out at Lollingdon still.
5 Swallow and 2 Swift north over the Hill and a couple of Buzzard displaying at altitude.
Up to 10 Yellowhammer singing between the village and the Hill and 4 singing Corn Bunting around the hill.
2 House Martin (the first I’ve seen since the beginning of the month) feeding over the playing fields and 3 Mistle Thrush present and a Kestrel nearby.
A female and a young Great-spotted Woodpecker in the garden this morning and a Nuthatch visiting regularly.
Reptiles: 2 Common Lizard.
Dragonflies: per TW: Azure Damselfly, Common Clubtail (1 seen near Bow Bridge) and several Broad-bodied Chaser.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Common Blue, Small Tortoiseshell and Speckled Wood.
