Reports from Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex suggest a good breeding season for Hawfinches. A trailcam in the Arundel area 1-23 July detected them daily, with up to nine in photos and up to five juveniles. @sussexornitholo.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @ukrbbp.bsky.social

We hope that you were excited at seeing a Honey-buzzard chick in the live-streamed nest. The chick hatched on 23 June in the morning and has since been fed with wasp larvae and pieces of frog. 🐣 Read all about it here; tinyurl.com/4rwdbvtb #ukbirding #sussexbirds

We are really excited to be hosting the Honey-buzzard live stream on our new website. As seen on Springwatch 2026. tinyurl.com/42ubayu8 The Society part-funded this work, which should contribute much to our understanding of the species’ breeding ecology in Sussex. Thanks to all partners.

A couple of good bird finds in Sussex for January. Tundra Bean Goose on my local patch and then a Caspian Gull on an industrial estate, most likely from a German project, but awaiting info. Nice comparison v Herring Gull. #UkBirding #Birds #Gull #Geese #Sussexbirds
