Belated news of a Cattle Egret on floods along Hithercroft on 20th April. A first for Cholsey. Per RW. Only stayed briefly.
A long awaited visitor to Cholsey since establishing themselves in Oxfordshire in 2021.
Back to today: a Whinchat, a Redstart and 8+ Wheatear out at Lollingdon. The Redstart appeared to be a brief stayer and moved from west to east along the hill, flying from bush to bush and eventually disappeared. The rest stuck around at least until late afternoon.
A Reed Warbler out by the “Long ditch”.
Elsewhere, Sparrowhawk, Lapwing, Mandarin Duck, 3-4 Yellow Wagtail, several Whitethroat and Blackcap, several Swallow and a Willow Warbler.
Mammals: Roe Deer & Brown Hare.
