WHD - fall (NW headwind and overcast)
Certainly the downs were more alive this morning. Not long after starting out along the footpath a smart male redstart perched up, and several willow warblers were singing 'surround sound'. It was a good sign anyway. A bit further along a gropper was reeling. More phylloscs en-route. A tree pipit northbound went over calling; another one later. A ring ouzel called vigorously. Along the south fence line WWs and a redstart fresh in alighted it before leaving north. Wheatear at the battery/ headland. More WWs in the chine and redstart near the golf course. Not too shabby.
