A change of scenery...

27/5/08 Ashdown Forest - Simeon
My sister was having an outing to Thorpe Park and we were staying in Sussex so I met up with my uncle and a Bird Forum member called Deborah. We drove to Ashdown Forest - the largest area of open Heathland in the country. It was very different from Norfolk and we had a great time. The highlights were; 2 Cuckoo, 1 Kestrel, 2 Woodlark, 15+ Tree Pipit (singing loads and displaying), 3 Redstarts (including a beautiful male), a male Stonechat and a Buzzard.
It was really good but James ruined my day by telling me he had seen a Citrine Wagtail and found a Red-Backed Shrike in Norfolk!!! Oh well...
