There was a distinctly spring feel in the air today, a glorious day with the birds singing. It certainly raised the spirits. The highlight was another encounter with the Cissbury Ring Dartford Warbler – this time it actually cooperated, a bit.
Yesterday a walk down to the sea found very little, but a horribly backlit Grebe on the sea slowly came closer and the light improved to show it to be a Red-necked Grebe, a new bird for the on-foot list, before it drifted west into the late afternoon sun.

It took a while to find these Tawny Owls

If you’re looking for the Dartford Warbler on Cissbury, find the Stonechats…
… the Dartford Warbler will be nearby
