I visited Cosmeston yesterday for the first time properly and even in the stingy, wet weather managed to have a fairly productive session and I even met some other friendly watchers (distanced of course) who gave me some helpful tips. I saw 1 peregrine flying overhead, 1 buzzard being mobbed by crows, 4 great crested grebe, 2 little grebes, heard one green woodpecker overhead, 2 goldcrest, 27 tufted ducks, 1 pochard, 31 redwing and 16 goldfinches.

What a lovely article to read and fantastic pictures.I have never seen a wheatear on the ground, I am pretty sure they have always been on posts. I will check out E bird. Thanks for this post.
