Today is our last full day in West Sussex, and this morning, we popped across to the National Trust's Petworth House. We arrived a little early for the main house, so we parked up in the Deer Park and had a short walk.
Within a few minutes, we spotted a new bird for the year; Spotted Flycatcher (177) This was quite unexpected, but a lovely surprise, especially as it was nest building!
Spotted Flycatcher
The last bird to mention, is one that we glimpsed briefly as we were driving. We spotted a long winged, long-tailed bird gliding, and at first thought it might be a Red Kite. We then noticed that the tail, didn't have a fork. Our only other thought was a Honey Buzzard! Unfortunately, we couldn't stop the car, so we didn't get any better views. One that got away!!!!
