7 July - a surprisingly successful morning in the New Forest in view of the fairly cloudy weather. A couple of hours at Acres Down produced several sightings of Goshawk, then eventually good but rather distant views of a circling pale morph Honey Buzzard.......typical flat profile with elastic wing and tail movements in the breeze. Also Sparrowhawk and Common Buzzard. Other species logged here included several Woodlarks, Cuckoo, Stonechat, and flyover Crossbills, Siskins and Redpoll. A very satisfactory morning, with the added bonus of 6 Red Kites seen on the journey home, and several Silver-studded Blues on the heather at Acres Down itself.
