The Ashdown Bird Group’s visit to Old Lodge NR on 19 June 2026 was highly successful, with ideal weather, a lively start of nearly 20 species in the first half hour, and all three target birds—Redstart, Spotted Flycatcher and Tree Pipit—located during the morning. The standout moment was an extraordinary sighting of a juvenile Cuckoo being fed by a Wren, a rare behaviour to witness so clearly. In total, 31 species were recorded, making it a memorable and rewarding outing for the four members present.
