Both Alan and I had the same thought today and went out to the Lees area where we overlapped.
Bird of the day was a Little Egret that was first seen flying from Aston Tirrold thru to Lollingdon and then seen over Whitehead Meadow. 15 minutes later it was back out by the Lees.
Other species were: 3 Yellow Wagtail (3 locations), 6+ Reed Bunting, 4 Sedge Warbler, 1 Reed Warbler, 2 Blackcap, 2 Song Thrush, a Corn Bunting, Chiffchaff and several Skylark.
A Reed Warbler singing in a hedge in a small garden in Papist Way. Per RB. (There has been a second pulse of Reed Warbler migration in the last couple of days and maybe this one is fresh in. And as some do, they start singing where they arrive before moving on).
Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle, Large Red Damselfly, Common Blue Damselfly, Azure Damselfly, Red-eyed Damselfly, Emperor Dragonfly and Four-spot Chaser.
Butterflies: Large Skipper, Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Green-veined White, Orange Tip, Small Tortoiseshell (10+), Speckled Wood, Marbled White and Meadow Brown.
Moths: Cinnabar and Burnet Companion.
