Hard work finding stuff today on a 4 hour walk out to the Lees then around to Lollingdon.

Singles of Common Redstart, Lesser Whitethroat and Yellow Wagtail, a couple of Blackcap, several Chiffchaff and Yellowhammer, good numbers of Swallow moving through (100+) and 20+ House Martin.

Mammals: Brown Hare and Roe Deer.

Dragonflies: Migrant Hawker and Common Darter.

Butterflies: 7 Clouded Yellow, Large White, Small White, Common Blue, Painted Lady, Meadow Brown and Small Heath.

A few oddities today, a Helmeted Guinea Fowl running across a field and a Falconer hunting Hares with a Red-tailed Hawk (didn't catch any).
