Took the car into Wallingford for MOT & service this morning and walked back via the river, Bow Bridge and Caps Lane.
A few Black-headed Gull, a single Common Tern and a couple of Egyptian Geese along the river.
3 Kingfisher, Sedge Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Jay, Yellowhammer and Reed Bunting all noted and Swift, Swallow and House Martin overhead most of the time.
Another walk back to Wallingford later in the day to pick the car up. This time a walk along the Bunk line to Winterbrook.
A few Yellowhammer in song, a few Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat and a Blackcap.
Yellowhammers seem to be the only consistent songster at the moment with a few other species joining in from time to time.
2 Yellow Wagtail Cholsey Hill.
A good number of Swift over Wallingford with flocks wheeling around over the river near the OU boathouse, another flock over the Hithercroft area and more over the town centre.
Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle.
Butterflies: few out in the cloudy conditions: Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Marbled White, Gatekeeper and Meadow Brown.
Song Thrush gathering food.
