I saw my first Swallows of the year today with a pair sat preening on the wires by Remenham Church, Berks. A quick walk around Aston at lunchtime was quite eventful and produced some good birds. Over the fields at Aston 6 Buzzards and 9 Red Kites were circling and a single male Kestrel was hovering next to the pathway leading to Hambleden Lock. A few Skylark were singing from high above the fields and a single Grey Heron was feeding along the backwater stream and another by Hambleden Lock. Plenty of Red-legged Partridge were about mostly in pairs and a few Pheasant around the fields. 3 Chiffchaffs were in full song from several areas and I got fantastic views of 2 Nuthatches inspecting nest holes next to the path. It didn't take long to get views of the local Ring-necked Parakeets as 5 noisily passed overhead and by the time I had reached the Hambleden Lock I had also seen 3 Stock Doves and a single Kingfisher.
