A bit samey out there at the moment with most birds settling into their breeding cycles.
A good number of Swift around the top end of Papist way and Cholsey Meadows plus some House Martin. Also 4 Swift regularly over the Station Road area.
Negative for any Swift and House Martin along Church Road and one of the Swift nest boxes has been usurped by a pair of Blue Tit who appear to be feeding young.
Also negative for Cuckoo and Bullfinch in the parish so far this year!
A Hobby seen over Honey Lane flying east. Per MFJ.
Little Owl seen out at Lollingdon, first time in a while.
Mammals: Brown Hare.
Dragonflies: Beautiful Demoiselle (up until 2020 this Demoiselle was very rare in the parish and so far this year they are as common as Banded Demoiselle), White-legged Damselfly, Clubtail etc.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Small White, Green-veined White, Orange Tip, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Peacock & Speckled Wood.
