More Honey Buzzards

Ashdown Forest

10.15 to 12.15

with Alastair C, Shaun, Martin and Rebecca from the Ashdown Forest Bird Group

5 of us went to a different part of the forest, another hotspot for Honey Buzzards, and we were rewarded with superb views of at least 2 birds during our 2 hour stay.  

• 2 of them were showing when we arrived, flying high in the sky in the distance.  We had ample time to set up our scopes and track them from there on.
• Another sighting of probably the same pair provided us with the photo opportunity we craved.  Alastair G, who couldn't be with us today, later confirmed our ID from the images we sent him. 

3 Honey Buzzards in the last 2 days!
