Sighting Description
A terrific afternoon visit to this downland conservation area produced excellent views of up to 4 Short-earedOwls, 3+ Common Buzzards including a light phase juvenile, 1 ringtail Hen Harrier and 1 Red Kite. Sky Larks were singing everywhere with flocks of 12+ seen, small flocks of Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer and Reed Bunting were evident and 1 Brambling was noted. Grey Partridge were around and calling but were not very showy. At approx. 17.30 whilst driving home near junction of A283 and A24 a Short-earedOwl flew over the road, an added bonus.
