Oil Beetle
Overcast, 12°, light SW.
Still fairly quiet out there today.
5 Chiffchaff heard singing between the village and Lollingdon, appear to be the only migrants around so far.
The hill was very quiet with just a pair of Reed Bunting that flew in and disappeared off after a brief spell.
A single Raven flew south.
Just 2 Fieldfare noted, a few Jay and several Meadow Pipit and Pied Wagtail and a couple of Yellowhammer in song.
A Barn Owl hunting over Cholsey Hill recently. Per Ben.
And a male Siskin in TW’s garden at the weekend.
There are Rooklings in the Church road Rookery!
Mammals: Roe Deer.
Insects: The first Black Oil Beetle of the year seen on the hill. 3 in total.
