A walk out to the Lees again today and far fewer butterflies present than of late and “whites” dominating the butterflyscape! The warmest Cholsey day this year.
Anyone know what the record temp (both high & low) has been recorded in Cholsey?

A Chiffchaff working its way along the dyke and 5-6 Reed Bunting and 2 Sedge Warbler present.
A few more Sedge Warbler and 2 Reed Warbler along the reedy ditch at the end.
A few Swallow, House Martin and Swift feeding overhead.
