Jack and I covered the Bockhill area through to Kingsdown Leas, While Richard covered Otty Bottom, and Oldstairs in Kingsdown. Highlights included a Lapland Bunting that flew West over the Monument early morning and two Yellow-browed Warblers around Oldstairs.

Chiffchaffs numbered only five in the Bockhill area and 12 in Otty Bottom/Oldstairs, five Blackcaps, three Firecrests and two Goldcrests. Overhead there were 15 Swallows, 11 Skylarks, two Rock Pipits, 10 Bramblings, and four Reed Buntings. A few Song Thrushes ( 8) and Redwings (5) were seen around the Paddock
