A remarkable morning for raptors saw six
Red Kites share the sky at the same time over CF. Also rather unexpected was a pair of
Peregrines engaged in a food pass. A walk along Chipstead Downs revealed a
Rook, a
Greenfinch and seven
Swifts, while a local male
Kestrel was showing well.
It was probably a little drafty for most butterflies' liking but singles of
Comma and
Common Blue were noted, along with three
Meadow Browns.
