Old Lodge with Garry and the Ashdown Bird Group

Friday 18th March pm

After our very successful goshawk experience this morning, 7 of us relocated to Old Lodge for the afternoon session where we had a few interesting birds show up:

• Pride of place for me went to the woodlarks as they sang out boldly during their display flight.
• A couple of Dartford warblers arrived on the scene.
• I saw my first lesser redpolls of the year; they looked absolutely stunning in the bright afternoon sunshine.

Another set of interesting birds to add to Garry's already impressive day list
