Spot Flys again

A cloudy start but brightening up, 23°, light SSW.

The hill was pretty quiet today with just a few Swallow passing over and a Common Whitethroat present.

Nearby 4 Spotted Flycatcher still present out at Lollingdon and with quite a few Chiffchaff around. Several Common Whitethroat and Blackcap also noted.

A couple of Jay heard and a Kingfisher, 3 Green Woodpecker and a Great-spotted Woodpecker seen.

A Green Woodpecker visiting the garden regularly.

Mammals: Brown Hare and Muntjac Deer.

Reptiles: 1 Common Lizard seen scurrying off the path in front of me.

Dragonflies: Southern Hawker and Common Darter.

Butterflies: Large White, Small White, 4 Common Blue, 1 Holly Blue, 3 Red Admiral, 1 Small Tortoiseshell, 1 Peacock and Speckled Wood.
