Patching Hurstpierpoint (4 Viewers)

Yet another Door to Door walk, this lockdown saving me quite a bit in petrol money and helping the environment perhaps? Grey Wagtail, Couple of Kestrels and big flock of Fieldfares our reward for 3.6 miles traipsing along the muddy paths through the village.

Windy old walk from the door again today, nice charm of Goldfinch, Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers and a big but frustratingly distant Gull Flock which I couldn't pick anything unusual out at the distance involved!! Short report and a few pics on the blog on the link.
