Cissbury Ring

I decided against a dawn start today and went back to bed for a bit. Once it warmed up, I cycled to Cissbury Ring, where six Stonechats included my first juvenile of the year. Four Yellowhammers showed nicely and another highlight was two Buzzards spinning with locked talons, a dramatic sight quite low above me. I counted 20 Whitethroats, and five Swallows were seen. Two Firecrests were nearby.
