A reasonable mix

Cloudy, 18°, light to breezy NNE.

A fairly quiet day all round but with one or two birds popping up.

A Tit flock on Lollingdon Hill of around 20+ birds had 2 Common Whitethroat and a single Lesser Whitethroat accompanying them along with a couple of Chiffchaff and at least 1 Blackcap.

A Yellow Wagtail overhead on the hill, a couple of Raven in the area and a Little Egret flew west.

Alan found a Wheatear out there later in the day, just popped up for around 10 seconds before disappearing.

Both Grey Wagtail and Yellow Wagtail along the Bunk line this morning. Per Alan.

Mammals: Brown Hare,

Dragonflies: Southern Hawker & Common Darter.

Butterflies: a real drop in numbers today. Large White, Common Blue, Speckled Wood (lots) & Meadow Brown.
