The Downs
We started from Ashdown House, Oxfordshire, on this sunny morning and struggled up Weathercock Hill in quite oppressive heat. There were at least three wheatears in the harvested rape field.
Two ravens were heard and then seen as we dropped back down to the road before turning up towards the Ridgeway.
A wheatear and this whinchat were seen at Uffington. 
The photograph of the White Horse was taken when Greger took me up in his plane, eight or nine years ago. I don't think it's possible to get a view of the whole figure from anywhere on the ground - but I may be wrong. I often am.// posted by Christine @ 1:27 PM
