- Bigger hatches (eclosures) of mayflies on the Thames today, due in part to a slight change in wind direction from north-easterly (for the last two weeks) to a sou-westerly. We may see the heady heights of 17c over the weekend, and up to 70f (21c) briefly by mid week next week I hear!
- Black swan cygnets all hatched now.
- Great crested grebe young growing well.
- Common terns over Caversham weir this morning at dawn, courting with the male catching fish for the female.
- Horse chestnut blossom in full swing.
- Bluebells dying back now in our woods.
