Nothing much on Lollingdon Hill this morning with a fresh breeze blowing across the hill.
A single Raven flew south and the usual Corvids, Red Kite and the odd Buzzard present.
Elsewhere, a Little Owl, good numbers of Blackcap now in and approx. 50% of Common Whitethroat so far.
Alan visited the River/Marsh: Cetti’s Warbler, Reed Warbler (nos up), Sedge Warbler, Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler Etc.
Tony Rayner had a lone Swallow a few days ago and a Sedge Warbler near the Caps Lane and Wallingford junction.
9 butterfly species in the garden today including my first Small Tortoiseshell of the year.
Am putting the moth trap out tonight. Have had some good species already including Oak Beauty and Dotted Chestnut and Brindled Beauty.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Small White, Orange Tip, Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Speckled Wood.
