THE DOWNS: A brief, very wet and windy mid-morning walk produced only two sightings of note - a very pale Buzzard hunkered down in a field and at least seven Brambling in the hedgerow 200m west of the Beggars Bush car park. Duncan Livingstone via SOS
GORING GAP: Probable Dartford Warbler briefly went into bramble clump near metal gate. 'Scandinavian Herring Gull' (nominate form argentatus) and 43 Great Black-backed Gulls. Garry Messenbird
