Up at 04.00 in order to get to Knepp with Martin for a nightingale survey from 07.00 to 08.30 hr.
- We recorded at least 5 singing males on our patch; there were over 30 recorded overall - remarkable!.
- We also heard, then saw, our first turtle dove of the year at the southern tip of the estate. It was sitting on the overhead wires.

- Thee wasn't much white stork activity but we did see one foraging in the field near the visitor centre and there were a couple of occupied nests.
