Lollingdon Hill pretty quiet, just 3 Kestrel hunting over.
Nearby, a flock of 25 Skylark plus a few more scattered around, 6 Yellowhammer, 8 Meadow Pipit. Nearer home, 2 Raven, a Jay, a Grey Heron, 2 Siskin, a Coal Tit, a Mistle Thrush and 6 Chiffchaff.
Dragonflies: a single Migrant Hawker and many Common Darter.
Butterflies: Large White, Small White, Red Admiral, Peacock, Comma and Speckled Wood. Red Admiral has been very common this year and interesting to see 30+ in approx an hour all flying strongly south over the hill heading towards the downs.
