Lollingdon hill was rather quiet today, initially 100+ Rook and Jackdaw present but they eventually moved off to the fields to the south.
The 2 Common Redstart still present (still quite elusive, waited 90 mins before the ad male showed) along with a couple of Common Whitethroat and a Chiffchaff and a single Corn Bunting and just a single Kestrel on the hill today.
Nearby 4 Spotted Flycatcher doing their thing, “flycatching” in the cattle field. A couple more Common Whitethroat, a Blackcap, several Chiffchaff and a Willow Warbler.
Alan went back this evening and saw Flycatchers in 2 places so possibly min of 4 and max of 6.
Yesterday, a Hobby and 8 Swift over Papist Way. Per Alan. And a few more Swift noted by several observers along the river.
Mammals: Brown Hare.
Dragonflies: Brown Hawker and Common Darter.
Butterflies: Large White, Small White, 2 Common Blue, 1 Holly Blue, 1 Red Admiral, 1 Small Tortoiseshell, 2 Peacock, 1 Comma, several Speckled Wood, Gatekeeper and Meadow Brown, 1 Ringlet and 2 Small Heath.
