Before the Storm

A sunny day, 10°, moderate SSW. Prior to Ciara coming in.

Unfortunately been confined to barracks this week with a hefty cold but at least Alan has been out.

Cholsey Marsh has been visited this week with Cetti’s Warbler, Water Rail, Reed Bunting, Barn Owl, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard & 2 Stonechat seen.

A Black-headed Gull almost in summer plumage today and others still in winter plumage. Photo by Alan.

Black-headed Gull is a bit of a misnomer as the dark hood is actually a chocolate brown, however it does look black at a distance.

And a few Bumble Bees seen on Japanese Mahonia today during the sunshine.
