The days becoming more spring like now and a Swallow in at Portland, Dorset and a few Sand Martin and Wheatear arriving along the south coast!
Back in Cholsey a light movement of Meadow Pipit and Pied Wagtail today with 30+ and 20+ respectively over Lollingdon Hill, 2 Yellowhammer and a Reed Bunting on the hill but little else.
A couple of Little Owl calling and a Sparrowhawk through nearby and a small roaming flock of c50 Fieldfare and a single Redwing seen.
A single Raven flew north on the walk back and 2 Great-spotted Woodpecker drumming and a couple of vocal Green Woodpecker.
A Goldcrest, 2 Mistle Thrush and a Kestrel near the Church.
Fewer Gulls around now with the pig field flock halving to less than 1000 and no Gulls seen on the Church road flood this week.
Tony Rayner recorded the first Holly Blue butterfly of the year in his garden along with several more Brimstone.
