16th March 2024

 The morning started very quietly with a small movement north of Redwings, Chaffinches, Siskin and a couple of Bullfinches. Other than these were 11 Stock Doves, 2 White Wagtails, 4 Stonechats, a Blackcap, 4 Chiffchaffs, 4 Goldcrests, 5 Firecrests  and a Woodcock around the area. It was not until approx 09:30 that things changed with a Short-Eared Owl at Kingsdown Lees and Buzzards began to move. By about 11:00 we had at least 40-50 Common Buzzards, 5 Red Kites and a Marsh Harrier flying north as were 500 Starlings.

Also had a male Brimstone butterfly and, at sea, a Harbour Porpoise
