Thanks for the link. I see that one flew east along the South Coast, passing over Brighton at 10:00, Eastbourne half an hour later, and Hastings just before 11:00 on 23rd March, just a few weeks back. Most NSCers can't make it that quick on a Saturday :wink:

I've been scanning the skies around Brighton and Sussex in the hope of seeing one for the last couple of years but no luck yet. I did see a report that one of IOW ones had flown down the south downs as far as Dover and back if I remember rightly. Is there any sort of tracking available for the...

We get Green woodpeckers on the lawn fairly regularly during summer, but the Greater Spotted are far more common, one drinking from the pond only yesterday. We always have loads of goldfinches (niger seed feeders) but lately greenfinches have become rarer and Chaffinches have all but disappeared...

It's a sad day at Wz Towers. I got up this morning to see a few feathers on the lawn outside the bedroom window and figured that our regular sparrow hawk had taken another pigeon. Miss Wz (who is on a visit from Oz) was out in the garden this morning and found the remains, coming back to tell...

Yep, went through wiring the lids closed, water pistols, moving the feeders, greasing the poles, putting hanging baskets over the feeders. My kids still tell stories of how it took me the best part of 3 years to intellectually outwit a squirrel. Apparently these Plus careful placement can...

They are about 15-20 feet from a line of cherry trees on one side and similar from a HUGE Philadelphus on the other. This was carefully calculated over a couple of years of watching squirrels flying across the kitchen windows in an attempt to get from aforementioned trees to feeders, a lot of...

I have a couple of bird feeding stations out for the last 10-15 years and generally get a good mix of birds, but have also noticed a lack of chaffinches the last few years. Always had Goldfinches (Niger and Sunflower hearts) but numbers seem to be increasing and Greenfinches are coming back...

Seen a couple of Red Kites (or maybe the same one twice) over Waterhall in the last week.

Found the picture of it over Rye with a Buzzard and Raven You can see why it's called 'the flying barndoor' :eek:

You married a Smurf ???

Saw one of these when I was having a spliff five minutes ago :ohmy:

We sometimes get those in the Garden. They hang upside down on the bird feeders to get at the seed. Reminds me of many years ago Mrs Wz phoned me at work to say we had a parrot with a green body and red head in the garden. A couple of weeks later she saw it again and I was in the house so took...

Saw a Red Kite between Ditchling Beacon and Coldean Lane on Monday Seen about half a dozen round sussex in the last year or so. I remember 10-15 years ago when Buzzards started arriving in Sussex, and they now seem to outnumber the Kestrels. Just keeping my eyes peeled for a White tailed...
