Whinchat

Light rain, 13°, breezy SSW, brighter later.

Lollingdon was rather quiet today, not surprising given the weather.

However, there was a lot of song, with Skylark, Blackcap, Common Whitethroat, a Lesser Whitethroat, Chiffchaff, Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer, 3 Thrush species and the other regulars.

A flock of 20+ House Martin and a handful of Swallow passed thru.

Alan was near the Gravel pit and found a cracking female Whinchat, which I managed to go and see later in the day.

During the rain earlier there were approx. 50 Swift over the gravel pits plus several Swallow and House Martin. And the Greenshank was still present.

Good numbers of young Starling being seen and heard.
