Chiffchaffs

Sunshine, 10°, light SSE.

Appears to have been a small influx of Chiffchaff, with 1 heard singing at the end of Papist Way, 1 Cholsey Marsh, 2 along the Bunk line, 2 near the Gravel Pit and 2, Bullshole/Millennium Wood.

Alan covered the River and Bunk line today and I went out to Lollingdon.

Kingfisher, Reed Bunting, Water Rail and Chiffchaff along the river.

Little Owl and 2 Chiffchaff along Bunk line and 2 more near the Gravel pit and the Green Sandpiper still present.

Little Owl and Little Egret out at Lollingdon (the Egret seen earlier on Amwell Spring).

A couple of Song Thrush in song on Lollingdon Hill and a flock of 100+ Starling, Fieldfare and Redwing on the wooded side.

More “Winter Thrushes” scattered elsewhere, excess of 250 birds.

2 Chiffchaff Millennium Wood and 2 Mistle Thrush on football field.

Mammals: Brown Hare.

Butterflies: Female Orange Tip in garden.
