Climping Gap: A slightly delayed start after a Dr's appointment, so I decided to concentrate just on the Kent's farm/old campsite area this morning - and I was soon glad that I did - for I was rewarded with a fairly late Ring Ouzel in a hedge along the track to the campsite. It called several times before breaking cover, but didn't stay too long and easily evaded my camera!

Two Swallows flew east and I also logged four Chiffchaffs and two Goldcrests in the bushes, whilst other species included two Stonechats, 40+ Skylarks, half a dozen Meadow Pipits, four Greenfinch, two Reed Buntings and three Yellowhammers. 

 

2 Raven's flew east over Poole Place yesterday Tuesday 29/10/24 (OM)

 3 Hawfinch flew over the field north of camp site towards ferry road late morning, also 3 Firecrest and 30+ Goldcrest around Kents. (DB)
