Bunk line to the Gravel pit today. A trickle of Hirundines passing thru, c50 Swallow, 9 House Martin and my first Swift of the year.
2 Little Ringed Plover, 6 Tufted Duck, 2 Canada Geese, a Greylag Goose, 2 Black-headed Gull. 2 Herring Gull, a Lesser Blackback Gull, 2 Yellow Wagtail and 6 Pied Wagtail.
Several Blackcap, a Lesser Whitethroat and 2 Common Whitethroat.
A pair of Kestrel seen mating so will presumably breed nearby and scanning the 360° horizon I counted over 50 Red Kite in the air at various altitudes plus a handful of Buzzard.
Alan covered the River/Marsh area in the morning with the usual and then had another Swift over Cholsey Meadows this afternoon along with some Swallow and House Martin and a Lapwing.
Mammals: Brown Hare.
Butterflies: singles of Small White & Peacock.
