Whinchat & Redstart

A cloudy day, 18°, breezy SW.

Alan covered the Bunk line this morning whilst I went out to Lollingdon.

I had just got back at mid-afternoon when I received a message from Alan that he had just found a Whinchat and a Redstart along the Bunk line. So “Deja vu”, boots back on etc and made for the Bunk line.

Not only a Whinchat was found but 2 Redstart and 2 Common Whitethroat which rounded off an otherwise quiet day nicely. Also several Swallow over and 5 Raven up near Green lane.

Lollingdon this morning: 4 Yellow Wagtail, 1 Willow Warbler, 10+ Chiffchaff, several Swallow and a Jay and a Raven.

Bunk this morning: several Raven, Yellow Wagtail, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff etc.

Mammals: Brown Hare and Muntjac Deer.

Dragonflies: Common Darter.

Butterflies: Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Peacock, Speckled Wood, Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown and Small Heath.
