17/01/2018 West Sussex Outing with Shaun

Wednesday 17 January 2018
With Shaun at Water Woods, Arundel and then West Dean Woods 

Another good day out - this time with Shaun in West Sussex.  He was particularly keen to see Firecrests and Hawfinches.


Water Woods, Arundel, West Sussex
  • No problem with Firecrest on this site.  We saw at least 2 and heard more.




West Dean Woods
  • We saw a Hawfinch early on as we made our way towards Monkton Farm  It was sitting at the very top of a tall, bare tree so the view was superb.  Unfortunately, we didn't see any others afterwards.
  • Shaun spotted at least 2 Brambling among the Chaffinch flock.
  • 2 Red Kites flew majestically close.
  • A Sparrowhawk provided me with my fifth year tick of the afternoon.


A really enjoyable trip with some good birding.
