There was various reports of anything upto 8 Ring Ouzels present on the north west slopes, increasing from the original 2 found by Jamie Wilkinson. The birds were easilly spooked but on the whole good scope views were to be had with patience (various sources)

Goring Gap
A complete circuit covered again, yet still little around. 2-3 Wheatears were around the north fields, a Firecrest was again at the northern edge and many Blackcaps were seen and in song as were Chiffchaffs. A Buzzard also drifted over. Small Tortioseshell, Peacock and Red Admiral were on the wing in the brief periods of sunshine NB
Ferring Rife
A Whitethroat was a first for the year for me, but again, on the whole quiet with a Sparrowhawk, Blackcap, singing Chiffchaff, female Pheasant and Green and Great Spotted Woodpeckers around NB
