4th January, 2017 Old Lodge N.R. Ashdown Forest
We met up with Richard and visited the Old Lodge N.R. on a dull and dreary morning. We walked around the entire nature reserve, but very low numbers of birds seen which included Long-tailed tits, Great-spotted Woodpecker, but no Bramblings or Redpolls were seen but the highlight were 5 Crossbills including 2 males which showed well along the top path for around 10 minutes.
