A frustrating morning, where we wasted an hour looking where Birdguides said a Snow Bunting was, instead of the location we would have gone had we not known “better”. Fortunately it was waiting for us when we finally got there and was as approachable as this species normally is.
The Purple Sandpipers at Shoreham Harbour gave us the slip again, but the Black Redstart is always worth a look. Finally we went over to Ashdown Forest, where Common Crossbills cooperated.
