Wet then dry, then wet again was the order of the day today. Walking out in sunshine then getting thoroughly soaked when caught in the open with a heavy rain shower. Then drying out in the sunshine again and again etc.
Lollingdon Hill was relatively quiet, around 80 Swift passed over in an hour or so accompanied by a few Swallow and House Martin. Appeared to be moving to avoid the rain showers staying in the clear areas.
Jays have started to become noisy again. They seem to go very quiet and elusive when breeding but they are back to their usual noisy selves now as several heard and seen today.
Also 3 Yellow Wagtail in 2 locations.
During the sunny spells a few species fired up their vocal chords to liven up an otherwise quiet stroll.
Dragonflies: Banded Demoiselle.
Butterflies: few on the wing except for Meadow Brown and Marbled White, 1 Large White, 2 Small White, 1 Comma, 1 Speckled Wood and 2 Ringlet.
