Ewden shooting lodge and return 15/9/17.

Mostly dry and bright but cool and refuge was taken at the south facing gable of the lodge. On arrival here rt Hen Harrier and cc Marsh Harrier were showing well, together at one point. Also 2 Sparrowhawks, 7 C Buzzards with one carrying a rabbit, 6 Kestrels were the only falcon species seen, surprising, given the number of Pipits. Party of 5 possibly 6 Ring Ouzels flew into a rowan tree and were feeding on the berries but dropped near heather and lost to view. Total of 7 Ravens and plenty of Meadow Pipit movement going south with a total of 223. Hirundine movement but most too high and distant to do any accurate counts.
