06/04/2016 Redstart and Tree Pipit at Old Lodge NR

Wednesday 6 April 2016
Old Lodge NR, East Sussex

Waited till late afternoon before going out today.  The weather was better after the earlier heavy showers.  I bumped into Alastair who had just finished his search.  He had seen several Redstarts, one of my target birds, the other being a Cuckoo that had been seen here recently.  


  • Quite soon, Alastair spotted a Tree Pipit on the overhead lines - my first of the year.  



  • Soon afterwards we had excellent views of a stunning male Redstart in a dead tree some 25 metres away from us.



  • Also seen were several Stonechats, a Raven and a couple of Siskins.



A very productive short visit to a smashing site.
