A lovely walk along the lanes with an exciting 5 minute spell. First, a Green Woodpecker, calling, then in flight, heading uphill. Then, the shrill cries of a raptor had me frozen to the spot, and a fabulous Goshawk blasted out of the conifers in front of me, heading downhill towards Cellan. A little later on the open ground under some beech trees was a large flock of perhaps 400 Chaffinches, but I couldn't find a Brambling among them.
