Still rather quiet

Sunny intervals and a light breeze, 20°, light WSW.

Fairly quiet over the past few days. Alan and I have been out and covered Lollingdon, The River, Bunk Line, and The Lees etc.

The weekend had a good passage of Swallow, House Martin and Swift but this seems to have petered out over the last few days to just a trickle.

Good numbers of Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat and Blackcap still around in most locations but Sedge and Reed Warbler appear to have mostly gone.

Little Owl heard and seen out at Lollingdon and a Collared Dove (pretty scarce for some reason out there).

Mammals: Brown Hare & Roe Deer.

Dragonflies: Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker, Migrant Hawker (found by Alan), Emperor & Common Darter.

Butterflies: fewer in number. Brimstone, Large White, Small White, Small Copper, Brown Argus, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma, Speckled Wood, Gatekeeper & Meadow Brown.
