| Short-eared Owl, Asio flammeus |
On Thursday 17th
October I visited Cissbury Ring, met Gary and had glimpses of two Ring Ouzels
and saw a Mistle Thrush. In the evening I joined SusSAR members at Hailsham
where we marshalled at the Bonfire Society parade and bonfire. On Sunday the
ref denied Scotland a place in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup. On
Monday I returned to Cissbury Ring where a Ring Ouzel flew out of the Yew tree.
I saw a Crow escorting a Buzzard out of its territory and a Kestrel hunted over the hill. A pair of Red Kites flew high up. Butterflies were still
active with a Red Admiral, Brimstone and Small Heath spotted.
Today I visited
Climping beach twice and disturbed a Short-eared Owl which was perched in the
bushes by a path. It flew into a crop of brassicas and stayed down. Many Small
Whites flew over the crop. A pair of Stonechats flew along the road by the car
park, perched on the fence posts and bushes and fed in the roadside grass.
A Clouded Yellow flew by very fast and a Red Admiral toured its territory.
