Old Lodge, Ashdown Forest
- I saw my first Redstart of 2017 this morning at Old Lodge. My first view was of it flying away from me but after a patient interlude, I was rewarded with a stunning view of this splendid male as it perched on a branch of a nearby dead tree.
- Also seen and heard was a Raven. It was making a very loud noise as it guarded its nest.
- The usual suspects were present in good numbers but I had no luck with migrant Willow Warblers or Tree Pipits.
The redstart was almost in the same position as in previous years - at the bottom of the hill some 25 metres further downhill from the small pond and in the dead tree near the fence line, adjacent to the large holly bush. TQ462310.
