Lollingdon Hill was somewhat quiet with just a small flock of Linnet and Goldfinch feeding on Dandelion seeds and several Skylark in song.
Nearby a male Common Redstart, heard calling and then flew off towards the Amwell Spring area.
The Lollingdon flood is now the mud, as it mainly dried up. Just 2 Lapwing in the vicinity.
On the walk out, a Common Whitethroat, 5 Blackcap, 9 Chiffchaff, 4 Yellowhammer and 10 Fieldfare.
Geoff Wyatt had 2 Ringed Plover fly north over Ilges Lane repeatedly making alarm calls. A Sparrowhawk had just flown over heading north with Starlings mobbing and alarm calling.
A Swallow over Church Road c18:00 and Loren had one cross her path on Cholsey Hill a little earlier and a Raven heard “kronking” over home at 19:30.
Butterflies: very few on the wing, Brimstone, Peacock and Speckled Wood.
