Briefer than usual visit to Butser with little or no birdlife; a large group of Rooks had a strikingly white-winged individual amongst the. Several Goldcrests around carpark.

At QECP the sun came out and the well illuminated trees were reminiscent of a New England Fall. The pond was alive with egg-laying Common Darters.

At Iping just two Dartford Warblers, some flyover Siskins, a couple of Buzzards. No sign yet of any Great Grey Shrike.

Only hovers were Syrphus spp and only butterfly a Red Admiral; also plenty of Fly Agaric, mostly chewed or knocked over.

On the way back one of the QECP buzzards was very low over the A3.
