Ashdown Forest
With no particular agenda, I started at the public footpath leading to the rear of the Llama Park on the east of the A22. I then moved on to the Shrike territory to the west of Long CP before finishing on my patch at Churlwood. Weather conditions were ideal with no wind, excellent visibility and no showers - yet!
- Highlight of the trip was the Red Kite, pointed out to me by an excellent couple of birding colleagues.
- The Great Grey Shrike announced itself wonderfully by posturing at the end of a track to the east, in the usual place near Long CP.
- On my patch there were numerous Chiffchaffs singing, as well as a couple of Willow Warblers.
- The Dartford Warbler was still in the position posted by Clive a couple of weeks ago.
- Three Lesser Redpolls were so pleasing to see.
No new birds but a super 3 hours of nature study!
