A rather lost looking red legged partridge was roosting amongst the rocks at the marina this evening. A single cuckoo remains at sheepcote, the first instance of summering at this site. Hopefully it's done its business and a juv will appear soon.

slightly amusing, 4 great crested grebes flew high NE over the long car park (ashdown forest) this morning.

Late news: last Saturday (14th) , the highlight was a white stork which flew west.

yday: red kite over brighton.

yday: male serin at sheepcote valley briefly in the bmx track.
