The Arun Valley, West Sussex
- I was late in getting to Rackham Woods today - with heavy traffic around Lewes and Brighton.
- With little to see we moved on to Coldwaltham where we were unable to find the Great Grey Shrike but we did see lots of Chiffchaffs
- At Lavington Common we saw a Dartford Warbler and, just as we were leaving after lunch, at least 4 Siskins high in the trees above us.
- Next stop was Waterwoods, at Arundel, for our annual twitch of the Firecrests. This visit was one of our best with at least 2 of them showing well from 10 metres or so.
- My final stop, before leaving early, was Swanbourne lake where we saw 10+ Mandarins.
- I had to leave early to get home and pack for my journey north to Cumbria and then Scotland. The rest of the group went on to The Burgh where they added Hen Harrier, Corn Bunting, Grey Partridge, Short-eared Owl and Red Kite to our day list.
A lovely day out and, after a quiet start, some super sightings!
