Plenty of Jackdaws plus Crow and Magpie. Conspicuous by their absence - Swift and Swallow. Follow the path that runs north round the edge of B&H golf course on the right and overlooks West Hove golf course on the left. More standard fare included at least 12 Whitethroats, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Yellowhammer and Corn Bunting. I have never heard or seen one before in real time - only ever watched YouTube videos and heard recordings. I did attempt to record on my mobile phone but sadly not very successful due to wind and nearby Song Thrush. I have included approximate map reference (TQ269089). The only bird which comes to mind is Marsh Warbler? I accept this would be highly unusual but I can't offer any alternative suggestion. I couldn't get closer without invading the scrub from the path. There was an adjacent Song Thrush singing and the mystery bird then seemed to offer a couple of the Song Thrush's phrases. The bird remained unseen. I then heard elements of Nightingale song, a few Nightingale type croaks, a few short whistles and Blackcap type scratchy notes. Tried to latch onto what I initially thought was a Garden Warbler singing. Thank you, Alan.ĭid my usual circuit today at the back of Hangleton (Round Hill), around the edge of B&H golf course, Monarch's Way and into Benfield Valley and returning via the course of the old Dyke Valley Railway trail. Several Buzzards, two Red Kites and a Grey Heron in flight contributed to a total of about twenty species that I saw but there were more species heard by others in our party.Ī good morning out with friends. Whilst late in the day one Woodlark was seen briefly on the heathland.Ī few attractive invertebrates drew our attention: a golden Broad-bodied Chaser, a Beautiful Demoiselle and a Speckled Yellow Moth posed well. Distinguishing the songs of Blackcap and Garden Warbler challenged us as usual.Īn obliging female Yellowhammer and a pair of Stonechat were the most popular sightings. Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs, Whitethroats, Wrens and Robins were plentiful. Lots of birdsong was heard but getting good views of the small birds was not as easy as hearing them amongst the leafy branches of the wooded parts of the reserve.
