Still a warm one!

Sunny with increasing cloud, 28°, light SW.

Another quiet day out at Lollingdon, a few Common Whitethroat and Chiffchaff and a single Blackcap seen.

3 Jay present and a good number of Yellowhammer still around,

A reasonable passage of Swallows today with 200+ moving south including a flock of c50, a few House Martin with the flocks. 

A couple of Swift still overhead in Cholsey.

Mammals: an unfortunate Mole found dead.

Dragonflies: a few Common Darter.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Peacock, Speckled Wood, Gatekeeper and Meadow Brown.

Not too far away good numbers of Adonis Blue and Chalkhill Blue being found. Unfortunately outside Cholsey's boundary.
