Looks like an end to the sunny weather next week with April showers coming in.
2 Swift over Station road and 1 over Honey Lane today. Per Mitchell-Frazer Jones.
Also several Swift seen moving north over Cholsey Hill plus 2 Yellow Wagtail over. Per Alan Dawson.
Looks as though there has been an influx of Swift today as there have been quite a few reports throughout Oxfordshire today.
The first county record this year was 18th April at Farmoor.
The mean arrival date for local Swifts over the last 25+ years has been the 4th May.
Yesterday’s probable Montagu’s Harrier was looked for today but not seen so may well have carried on with its journey north.
A Grasshopper Warbler heard reeling on the other side of the river from Cholsey Marsh early morning. Per Paul Rainsden.
