Firecrest along the #CuckooTrail in Hailsham again this morning, probably two birds; a Stock Dove calling nearby, Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming and an upside-down Treecreeper. Pre-Spring is the greatest time.

In song under grey skies today: Goldcrest, Treecreeper, Stock Dove and Green Woodpecker. A Grey Wagtail by the pond. Jays and Long-tailed Tits in the scrappy woodland. #Hailsham #Sussex #birding #CuckooTrail

A ringtail Hen Harrier, three Pintail and twelve beautiful (but not entirely wild) Barnacle Geese were the highlights of Wetlands Bird Survey (WeBS) core February count this morning on Down Level. Also 61 Teal, 13 Gadwall, 20 Wigeon, 360 Lapwing, 3 each of Snipe, Stonechat and Great White Egret, plus Raven over and Reed Bunting singing as best they can. #birding #sussexbirding #sussex #birds #WeBS

20 Barnacle Geese flew in to Horse-eye - presumably part of the feral band touring Sussex, but it’s nice to wonder.
Also 1 Cattle, 2 Great White and 5 Little Egret, 2 distant Golden Plover and 5 Shelduck on Down scrape.
Chaffinch and many Skylarks in song. A single Fieldfare and 3 Redwings in the hawthorns.

The song of the blackbird is mellow, unhurried and rich. It’s varied, but not exhaustingly so (hello, song thrush).
Ornithologist W H Hudson described it as ‘nearer to human music than any other bird song’, which leads us to notice that the register is lower that many other songbirds, in the range of human speech.
You can whistle along to a blackbird.

At least 3, perhaps 5 Great White Egrets, across Horse-eye and Down, 3 Little and a Cattle Egret at White Dyke farm, a Shelduck on Down scrape, and my first Chaffinch song of the year. #imbolc #sussex #sussexbirding #ukspring #PevenseyLevels

I’m looking for a birder who might join me for a Zoom call on Thursday eve to talk with a small group about the joys of watching a local patch… ideally someone outside SE England... I can offer a small fee or donation to charity for the time. Anyone interested please get in touch and we can chat. #birding #patchbirding

What’s that you say? Oh just a Sardinian Warbler wintering in Sussex, UK. In somebody’s garden. #climate #SussexBirding #sussex #wtf

Today I was ten minutes too late to see the Little Swift at Eastbourne.
Great to get a dip in at the seaside so early in the year. 🤓

Took an #AwkwardWalk from the house, around 6km, taking in an apparently blocked footpath and a most unwelcoming corner of the Pevensey Levels.
These routes will soon be in the nearest green spaces to the 100s of new houses being built on the edge of town.
Will these paths be further blocked, hidden and degraded? Or could they become welcoming and beloved places to walk for new local people?

Three hours walking between Ripe and Laughton under mainly sunny Boxing Day skies.
Much of the land is dismayingly tidy, over-fenced and overdrained. Few wildfowl or waders seen.
A handful of tangled corners and small old-fashioned ‘unimproved’ fields keep some interest alive.
Birding highlights: 1 Chiffchaff, 22 Skylark, 20+ Teal, 1 Snipe, 6 Buzzards, 20+ each Fieldfare & Redwing, 3 Bullfinches.

On Christmas Eve we took a speculative look at Glynleigh Level, a lesser-watched corner of the Pevensey Levels. So glad we did. At least 1250 Lapwing in the air at once, perhaps 2000. 25 Golden Plover, Green Sand, 2 Egyptian Geese, 13 Shoveler, 33 Teal, 3 Little Egrets, Water Rail and a Roe Deer. Well worth the wellie wading. #sussexbirding #ukbirding #WeBS #sussex #patchbirding

After six and a half years of living here, finally added Little Egret to the list for our local pond. Wandering around beside the road in the middle of town, like the most sinuous of pigeons. #sussexbirding #Hailsham

“On Tuesday evening, at 20.05hrs, I was taking out the rubbish, when I heard a call from south-west of the house. I froze, knowing what it was at once, but scarcely believing it.” http://northdownsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2022/11/kwowww.html?m=1 I love Steve Gale’s thoughtful reflections on #patchbirding #lowcarbonbirding #mentalhealth #ukbirders well worth browsing the archives
