Thundery weather

Sunny with variable cloud, 26°, light SSE.

A couple of minor thunderstorms later in the day but no comparison with yesterdays.

Anyway a walk out to Lollingdon today with 6 Lapwing present. 4 adults and 2 well grown juvs but may have had even more young around as I was getting mobbed by the adults when walking the footpath along with 2 Buzzard that happened to fly over.

No surprises with the usual Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat , Blackcap in good song along with Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer and Corn Bunting.

A Mistle Thrush very vocal around Church Road today.

Alan along the marsh with both Grasshopper Warbler reeling well and a Cuckoo doing its thing. Plus all the usuals.

Dragonflies: Beautiful Demoiselle frequent and a Black-tailed Skimmer in the garden.

Butterflies: Meadow Brown and Marbled White now on the wing plus Common Blue and Red Admiral noted.
