Out and about

Post by John Frankland »

White Coppice to High Bullough Reservoir return, then up onto the moors to Great Hill

Highlights
* Cuckoo 1 silent flight view over disused reservoir
* Redstart 1 singing (towards High Bullough so probably different to Neil’s bird)
Ring Ouzel 1m on moors above cricket pitch (thanks Neil)
No sign of the GGS, Red Grouse heard. 6 Curlew in 3 pairs.
Stonechat 2 separate singing males.

Finished the evening opposite Wards Reservoir where 2 singing * Grasshopper Warbler were keeping a very low profile.

*3 more takes me to 116 species for the year.
