Another warm one and a trek up to the Hill and plenty of butterflies around.
An unusual sighting of a singing Sedge Warbler on the hill today in one of the hedgerows. Not the usual habitat for a Sedge Warbler, maybe a bird on the way back?
Several Jay still being seen and heard with a couple in the meadow and a couple more the other side of the Bullshole.
More young Swallow on the wing with a flock of around 20 out at Lollingdon today, probably 3 family groups.
Apart from that all the usual stuff around.
A Barn Owl seen recently out at Lollingdon. Per TW.
Reptiles: several Common Lizard.
Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle, Azure Damselfly, Southern Hawker, Emperor Dragonfly and Black-tailed Skimmer. Also Common Darter recently. Per GS.
