Rather quiet out at Lollingdon today, a pair of Common Whitethroat have fledged at least 3 young and a few Swift feeding overhead and that was all of note. All the regulars present, plus a Little Owl seen.
No dragonflies or butterflies this morning as probably a bit too cool.
Alan out this afternoon along the river and having a bit more luck as it got warmer. (Bunk line yesterday).
