Abbots Wood, East Sussex
- My annual pilgrimage to Abbots Wood went exactly to plan with several Nightingales singing in their usual classical style. I saw at least 3 and heard more. One view was special with a singing male no more than 10 metres away and in full view. It was akin to a night at the opera in the world of birds.
- I also managed to see my first Blackcaps of the year, both stunning males.
- The weather was ideal with lots of sunshine and no wind. The Bluebells, Wild Anemones and the Wild Primroses provided an astonishing carpet for the visit.
- I also saw a couple of butterflies, a Brimstone and a Peacock.
A bird species count of only 17 but with the main attraction showing up it was time well spent.
