Cloudy Skies

Mainly cloudy with the odd sunny spell and light rain showers, 20°, light to breezy SW.

Still very quiet locally for August!

Yesterday there was an early flurry of Swift and House Martin overhead but soon died down and just a few House Martin and Swallow passing thru today.

A high flying Cormorant was the only bird of note today along the Bunk line.

The first Wheatear of the autumn found by Alan today on Cholsey Downs and a Peregrine yesterday between Lollingdon and the Lees.

Dragonflies: Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker, Migrant Hawker & Common Darter.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Holly Blue, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma, Speckled Wood, Gatekeeper & Meadow Brown.
