Red-tail

Cloudy with sunny spells, 25°, light SW.

2 Raven on the hill briefly this morning before flying off towards Moulsford. The Common Redstart still present and a few Chiffchaff and Blackcap around the hill.

A light passage of Swallow moving south and the occasional Swift passing through.

The Mistle Thrush flock still present nearby.

Sparrowhawks causing panic in the garden over the last week but they appear to be just flying through to hunt elsewhere. However given the chance they would catch something but the local Swallows always raise the alarm.

Mammals: Short-tailed Vole.

Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle, Azure Damselfly, Emperor and Common Darter.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma, Speckled Wood, Marbled White, Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown, and Ringlet. And a Painted Lady flew through the garden.
