They are still there, but not always reliable. As good a site as any though.

Hi Cameron

Why not try Stockbridge Down? It's a shorter journey from Winchester.

Do a search through goingbirding (Hampshire Bird News) and you will see a few for last year.

Try around Warnford, just east of where you are: Becon Hill and Old Winchester Hill NNR

I tried Martin Down last year but no luck, lovely site though
