Ashdown Forest, 26/05/2018

This afternoon I went for a quick stroll around the Hollies/Airman's Grave area of the Forest. There did not seem to be much life about, but lovely hot weather and some great views. The only birds of note were a male Redstart, a single Willow Warbler singing in the valley, and large numbers of Chiffchaffs, Chaffinches, Robins, and Blackbirds along the top. Also, at the bench, going along the top, a Jay flew very close by, followed by a Carrion Crow. On the way back, a Song Thrush was very obligingly sitting in a clump of gorse by the car park.
