    Sean John Allan and I checked the area out as best we could this afternoon. No joy with the Crane but found a pair of Goosander on the river. We viewed the area from Cobham Rd which crosses over the M25 giving plenty of views of fields and a small section of the river. We also moved further...

    Went to Witley Common with John Allan and found 60 - 80 Redpoll near the Lea Coach Rd carpark... Had one Mealy Redpoll there could have been more but the flock was mobile and then did a vanishing act on us... We had a walk round but could only find the odd bird..... Gerry did you find the flock...

    Richard John Allan and I staked out the feeders at Forest Green today but were not successful in seeing Willow Tit which is a shame as this remains a Surrey VC tick for me.

    Paul Cheers, third Surrey VC tick of the year. I like the idea of local birding (Beyond Beddington Farm) No sitting in traffic jams for hours as I did for the White Crowned Sparrow.. I suppose my carbon footprint will improve as well! Regards Kevin

    David I have regularly seen Wood Warbler at the Devils Punch bowl at the viewpoint behind the cafe. You will hear them before you see them but patience will give you good views of this bird. I had Marsh tit at Ranmore today. Regards Kevin
