A damp, muggy day with low cloud and the intermittent light rain shower.
A walk out along the Bunk line/Green lane area and Alan ranging far and wide taking in Lollingdon Hill, the river and Bunk line.
Highlight today was a Whimbrel, heard at first then seen flying towards Cholsey Hill.
2 Spotted Flycatcher and a Willow Warbler at the intersection of Green Lane and good numbers of Greenfinch, Goldfinch and Linnet nearby.
The Common Sandpiper still present at the gravel workings and a Stonechat near the village end of the Bunk Line.
18 Greylag Geese flew over, 2 Yellow Wagtail, a single Grey Wagtail, 10+ Chiffchaff, a Common Whitethroat, several Yellowhammer, 50+ Starling and a Rather damp looking Kestrel.
A good movement of Hirundines, with 50+ Swallow and House Martin along the river and several small flocks of House Martin and Swallow over the Bunk Line area. Loren had 30+ House Martin over her allotment today.
The Common Redstart still present on Lollingdon Hill.
The only butterfly seen today was a Meadow Brown that flew thru the garden late afternoon.
