Home - Framfield - Buxted Park - Home
15.00 to 18.00
I tried another walk from home today going to the old laundry again but this time heading off towards Framfield to join the Wealden Way leading to the Buxted Park estate before returning home following the route by the River Uck. Weatherwise it was another warm day with , thankfully, no rain.
- The Kingfisher was around again today but not on the stream - it was on the pond. No sign of the Mandarins on the pond, although I am sure they are still there.
- On the way to Framfield I had a super view of the Buzzard. It circled overhead, coming down quite low and making it's characteristic call. What a well behaved bird - showing well, hanging around and making clear calls. If only birding was always this easy!
- On the way out of Framfield a Jay flew by again offering super views.
- At Buxted Park, in the early evening, the main highlight were the geese flocks flying around. There were 25+ Canada Geese and a couple of flocks of 15 - 20 Greylag Geese. A flock of noisy Long-tailed Tits dropped in to liven up events before moving on.
