Alan did the tour today visiting Lollingdon, Silly Bridge and the River but as of late birdwise, it is very quiet.
Corn Bunting, Meadow Pipit and Skylark at the first two sites and Cetti’s, Warbler, Chiffchaff, Reed Bunting, Little Grebe and Water Rail along the river.
I took an early afternoon walk along the Bunk line. The Gravel pit has a lot of work going on and was virtually deserted by birds, apart from a few Black-headed Gull and Lesser Blackback Gull.
Good numbers of Yellowhammer and Linnet present in the hedgerows and several Chiffchaff and a Little Owl noted.
Numbers of Fieldfare and Redwing have decreased markedly over the last few days. Probably all headed back north of the wall!
Butterflies: Brimstone, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Comma.
