A productive walk out to Lollingdon and back today. A Merlin (male) flew east towards Moulsford scattering a Thrush flock in the process.
c200 Fieldfare and several Redwing, a couple of Mistle Thrush and 50 odd Starling present on Lollingdon Hill and a few mobile flocks elsewhere.
23 Pied Wagtail and several Meadow Pipit feeding in a field on the lower slopes of the hill.
A small flock of approx. c20 Golden Plover seen flying out towards Aston Tirrold along with a couple of Lapwing.
2 Goldcrest feeding with a Tit flock on the north side of the hill.
A Raven seen and heard flying towards Cholsey Hill and a Little Egret seen to drop down into Cholsey brook near Little Lollingdon.
And 2+ Brambling with a small Chaffinch flock associating with Fieldfare. Would have likely missed them if I had not heard one call!
A flock of around 20 Long-tailed Tit roaming the church area and Nuthatch, Treecreeper and Coal Tit among the garden visitors today.
