Cloudy with the occasional sunny spell, 15°, breezy NNE.

A routine walk out to Lollingdon today, no surprises. A few Swallow and Swift feeding over the hill and surrounding farmland and the usual songsters present.

Alan along the river: Nuthatch & Kingfisher to name a couple and all the regulars.

Mammals: Brown Hare & Stoat.

River Dragonflies: Beautiful Demoiselle & Banded Demoiselle.

Lollingdon Butterflies: Large Skipper, Small White, Red Admiral, Speckled Wood & Meadow Brown.

River Butterflies: Small Tortoiseshell, Marbled White, Meadow Brown & Small Heath.

WW and a Hoverfly

Sunny with later cloud, 19°, light SW.

Some good birds today with a Whimbrel heard flying over by Michael Pocock early this morning and 2 Whinchat along the Bunk line found by Alan.

Also an interesting fly with a Footballer Hoverfly found by Alan yesterday.

I've been out of county today so nothing from me!
