Cholsey catchup

Having just got back from a stay at Portland Bird Obs I’ve missed out on anything noted in Cholsey over the past week plus.

However 3 people have messaged or mailed me on several sightings plus one from FB:

Firstly a European Beaver photographed by Janie Maclean along the Thames. Where has it come from? Why is it there? A very unusual record!

Next, Michael Pocock found some Clubtail Dragonfly just emerging on 2nd May.

Paul Rainsden heard a Grasshopper Warbler reeling from Cholsey Marsh on 5th May.

Lastly Andy King was out in Lollingdon yesterday, 6 or more Common Whitethroat, 4 Lesser Whitethroat, Blackcap, Greenfinch, Swallow and Kestrel.
