The Downs

A long walk from Ashdown House in windy conditions brought very few birds. The harvested rape field on Weathercock Hill was the highlight, as it held numerous yellow wagtails.


Up near the gallops, a peregrine crossed our path; but I was too slow to get anything more than a shot from behind as it powered off into the distance.

The only other sightings of interest were four buzzards in the air together and five grey partridges flushed on Weathercock Hill.
