I heard a
Yellow Wagtail flying over the garden early morning. After a singing
Stock Dove being around the garden for a few days, it was pleasing to see a pair on one of the rooftops this morning. I can't think where they'd try to nest here other than in a chimney.

A walk around the downs, starting at Lambley's Lane then covering Steep Down and returning alongside Cissbury Ring produced my first
Cuckoo of the year (heard at Lychpole Farm), around 35
Corn Buntings and 20
Skylarks, three
Lesser Whitethroats, a
Red Kite, four
Buzzards, a
Sparrowhawk, at least 15
Whitethroats and a couple of
Yellowhammers,
Swallows and
Mistle Thrushes.
