Farmland Wander

A few pics from  my wander around farmland towards the north of Sussex on Saturday

 I managed an early start, pretty good walk with a Raptor watch in the middle. Buzzards, Red Kite, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk and at least two Goshawk the highlights from that, although sadly distant. Good views of singing Chaffinch, Blackcap, a Roebuck that wasn't singing and a friendly Yellowhammer at the end. Heard my first Sussex Willow Warbler of the year and were lots of song from Blackbirds, Blackcaps, Song Thrush, Robins and at least 2 Garden Warbler. I stood so still for so long on the Raptorwatch that a mouse ran across my foot!!!😂

Looks like it's been a difficult breeding season

Reasonable walk round!
