The Downs
We returned to Ashdown Park this week to do a 10-mile walk on a mostly sunny and fairly breezy day.
Two wheatears were on Weathercock Hill; and a whinchat was with corn buntings in wheat in Whit Coombe. (There are too many "wh"s in that sentence!) Two more wheatears were up on the gallops.
At White Horse Hill there were - yep, two wheatears! And having closed the loop we saw that the whinchat was still in Whit Coombe, having left the buntings for the company of a ......WHEATEAR!Best of all, coming back across Weathercock, we spotted at least five whinchats far out in the wheat on the top of the hill.
We didn't get rained on this week, and Greger did not get lost in the woods. A nice day.
