Migrants

Hazy sunshine, 26°, light SE.

An eventful day with Alan out early along the Bunk Line with a Whinchat, 2 Spotted Flycatcher, a Wheatear, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Swallow and Yellow Wagtail.

I was out a little later on Lollingdon Hill. 1+ Spotted Flycatcher, 2 Wheatear, 1 Common Redstart, 2 Common Whitethroat, a Blackcap and several Chiffchaff. Nearby a Little Owl and 2 Yellow Wagtail and a Willow Warbler in the Church yard.

Just a handful of Swallow and House Martin over.

A lot of Gulls around today with a couple of fields being worked. Majority were Lesser Blackback Gull with a couple of Herring Gull and several Black-headed Gull.

Dragonflies: Migrant Hawker (AD) & Common Darter.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Large White, Small White, 1 Common Blue, Brown Argus, Red Admiral, 2 Small Tortoiseshell, 2 Comma, several Speckled Wood, 1 Meadow Brown & Small Heath.
