The hill was rather quiet today with a handful of Yellowhammer, Reed Bunting and 6 Corn Bunting present.
The Linnet flock is gradually growing in number with around 30 birds present. Also several Meadow Pipit and Skylark moving around.
A single Cormorant flew north overhead.
Off the hill there were a few Redwing and Fieldfare in nearby fields but no significant numbers as yet.
3 Chiffchaff represented the only summer migrants still present.
Still around 30 Yellowhammer around the stubble fields.
Dragonflies: 10+ Common Darter which included a pair egg laying.
Butterflies: 1 Small Tortoiseshell and 2 Red Admiral.
