112: Hobby, Moor Green Lakes, Berks. It seemed to be having fun buzzing the lapwings and dining on some of the vast number of dragonflies present. Spotted both times by my brother, who seems to have 'raptor sense'.
 
113 Woodlark: flock of ~25, Yateley Common South, 05/09/2006
114 Redstart: Just the one, same place as above.
 
115 Whinchat, Yateley Common South, while looking for the county recorder and some woodlarks. One male, one female, good views as they were in a dead tree ~ 40 m to the side of the path.
 
116 Green sandpiper, Hanningfield Res., 17/09/06

And 116.5 (not a real tick...) White wagtail in the same place
