Spent the morning at various spots on Ashdown, had 4 target species, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Goshawk, Woodlark and Dartford Warbler, to paraphrase Meatloaf 2 out of 4 is pretty average!! A few pics below.

| Meadow Pipit |

| Marsh Tit, nice to see on in the wild, rather than around Feeders |
 |
| Channelling it's inner Crossbill |
 |
| Song Thrush |
 |
| Coal Tit several about |
 |
| Common Buzzard |
 |
| Immature Goshawk |

| Stonechat, pretty much everywhere I went there was a pair. |

| Grey Heron |
Hard work, blooming hot as well, thermal trousers were a mistake! Nice to here the Woodlark and the Gos was a pleasant surprise, though shame I couldn't of spotted it a bit earlier. Not much of a surprise I couldn't find a LSW only know a couple of spots, both of which had Great Spotted Woodpeckers. Bit surprised I couldn't find a Dartford Warbler hit the gorse and the heather hard in several places but thems the breaks!!!
