sand martins at west rise - spring is over, it's autumn. green sand heard at midnight down the cuckmere. last week i had a cream spot tiger, a new species for me.

with the still evening yesterday i went for a look in abbot's wood. nightjars were disappointing but mammals were good, nearly trod on 4 badger cubs, scared the shit out of me (wish i'd had camera to hand) and a roe deer mother and baby came out on the path.

some recent bits. the scarce chaser was a lifer.

                                 

at west rise 10 hobbies, a shit load of swifts, and 7 med gulls went over west (there's summink going on with these -see chog).
