06/09/2018    Birding with Terry and Alan

Today I enjoyed a cracking birding session on the south coast with Terry and Alan, the brothers from Crawley and fellow members of the East Grinstead RSPB Group.  In all we saw 43 birds including some very interesting ones.

• An early start at Hope Gap resulted in a glut of passerines, including Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Greenfinch, Wheatear and Stonechat.  A Hobby flew overhead.
• On the Cuckmere we saw the usual suspects, including more than a dozen Yellow Wagtails and half a dozen Dunlin.
• The birds of the day however were seen at Harry's Bush where we saw at least 3 Spotted Flycatchers and a Redstart.
• The highlight at Shooters Bottom was provided by another Hobby seen flying overhead.

A superb day out.
