2019 off to a reasonable start

Overcast, 5°, light NNW.

A Little Egret seen today on the way out to Lollingdon and appeared to drop down near Amwell Spring.

The hill hosted around 100 Fieldfare and a flock of c50 Meadow Pipit for a time before moving off over the top. Several Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer around the hill and a single Corn Bunting. A small flock of c20 Pied Wagtail feeding out with the Sheep.

A few more Fieldfare and Redwing scattered around the Lollingdon area, a Goldcrest, Grey Heron, Kestrel, a couple of Jay, 2 Bullfinch and several Starling amongst other species.

A Brambling in a private garden. Per Alan Dawson.

2 Blackcap in TW’s garden and 2 Chiffchaff at CSW.

The flock of c60 Golden Plover still around Cholsey Hill.
