Onward & Upward

Culture Shock - Onwards & Upwards (full album)

The above was the soundtrack to many a free festival in the 80s & 90s, oh the tales of Stonehenge I could tell...

A good day for Sussex today with several Red-rumped Swallows, a Serin, a Blue-headed Wagtail and a Golden Oriole on the scene, I connected with none of these (did go for the Oriole, no joy) but it does give hope that there is something even better just around the corner, we shall see.

At Ivy Lake, at least 20 Common Terns and all the usual commoner warblers including the Chiffchaff with the odd song which whilst not anything special (ie: Iberian) is worth hearing the nonetheless. The Black Swan also showed nicely right by the parking area, it's a pretty bird, well I like it anyway!
