Appears to have been an arrival of Sedge Warbler overnight as Alan counted quite a few along the River/Marsh this morning along with several Chiffchaff and Blackcap and a Common Whitethroat.
I took a hike out to Lollingdon. Although reasonably quiet there was a Willow Warbler in song on the Hill along with a Common Whitethroat, several Chiffchaff and Blackcap.
Another Common Whitethroat noted at Little Lollingdon plus the usual Yellowhammer, Linnet and 3 Reed Bunting, etc.
Alan visited the Gravel pit later in the day: 4 Little Ringed Plover, a Common Sandpiper, 2 Yellow Wagtail, a Grey Wagtail and a Lapwing.
Mammals: Brown Hare, Roe Deer & Muntjac in garden again.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Small White, Orange Tip, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Comma and Speckled Wood.
