A repeat of Wednesday with both Alan and myself out in the Lollingdon area.
I decided to stick around the flooded field area whilst Alan covered the long ditch and areas around Lollingdon.
Unfortunately I found a dead Kittiwake along the margin of the flooded field, only the 2nd record of this species in Cholsey. The last being in November 1957 also deceased. Would be nice to see a live one here!
A Little Egret commuting between the flooded field and the cattle field and a couple of Raven in the area.
2 Chiffchaff at 2 sites, several Siskin also seen at 2 sites, Stonechat, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Reed Bunting, a few hundred Starling, a Peregrine, Water Rail, Kingfisher, Sparrowhawk, approx. 50 Pied Wagtail scattered around the wet fields and c250 Lesser Blackback Gull and up to 50 Black-headed Gull.
Dragonflies: a surprise late record of a Common Darter.
