Back birding in Cholsey after a stay at Portland, Dorset.
The colder weather today has concentrated Hirundines over favoured areas where insects are abundant, with 150+ over CSW and c30 over the gravel pit.
House Martin in the majority with many Swallow and several Sand Martin.
Pretty quiet on the gravel pit with 2 Shelduck still present and a Little Ringed Plover (heard) but a lot of growth now restricting viewing over the pits.
Several Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat and Blackcap and a Grey Wagtail elsewhere.
2 Lapwing present near Green Lane.
A dead Polecat found by Stewart Watts out Lollingdon way. An area where they have been seen in previous years.
