All quiet

Sunny, 24°, light SW.

A walk out to Lollingdon proved somewhat uneventful, the hill was quiet with just a couple of Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer, Common Whitethroat and Blackcap in song plus 3 Buzzard and 7 Red Kite soaring overhead.

Nearby, just a Yellow Wagtail of note.

Mammals: Brown Hare and Roe Deer.

Dragonflies: Beautiful Demoiselle, 1 on the hill and another near the Bullshole.

Butterflies: Small Skipper, Large Skipper, Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock, Speckled Wood and Meadow Brown.

Alan was off checking out a Scarce Chaser Dragonfly in Shillingford. Only 2 confirmed records for Oxfordshire prior to this one. We may yet find one in Cholsey.
