Could not find a single Wheatear on the hill today, presumably they all moved off overnight to continue their journey.
However more than made up for it when I found a smart male Common Redstart on the top of the hill in the Hawthorn bushes.
Always stayed high on the hill and distant and heard calling frequently.
Earlier in the day I received a phone call from Tony Rayner to say he had a Willow Warbler singing in his garden and Alan found another at the top end of Caps Lane.
A singing Cetti’s Warbler Cholsey Marsh plus a singing Blackcap there and another singing Blackcap Millennium field,
2 Raven over Lollingdon Hill seen by Alan and heard by me.
Mammals: Brown Hare & Roe Deer.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Small Tortoiseshell & Peacock.
