A good start to the day with a Willow Warbler singing near the garden.
7 Wheatear on Lollingdon hill this morning but all appeared to have gone by midday. Another Willow Warbler on the hill and 3 Raven overhead.
Seems to be plenty of Blackcap around now and a Little Owl nearby.
Alan found at least 1 Reed Warbler on the Marsh this morning. Presumably arrived overnight as this was the first for the year.
All the usual suspects noted and around 50 species noted between us.
Mammals: Brown Hare & Roe Deer and unfortunately an Otter found dead along the Wallingford road.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock & Speckled Wood.
Insects: Black Oil Beetle (first ones noted on the hill) & Dark-edged Bee-fly (Per Alan).
