Pony up overlooking Eastbourne.

Near Cissbury on the South Downs, this Kestrel hovering intently at eye level over a grassy bank for nearly 3 minutes before giving up to try it's luck elsewhere...to a backdrop of larks ascending into a cloudless sky...

Layered chalk hills of the Fulking Escarpment in Sussex, lit by low evening sunlight that highlights ridge crests while valleys fall into soft shadow, creating repeating curves across the landscape.

Short but nice 3 church walk in East Sussex’s South Down. From Alfriston (Church of St Andrew), through Lullington (Church of the Good Shepherd) to Litlington (St Michael the Archangel).

Walkers in the South Downs
I've really enjoyed our walk near these mills, last Wednesday, with #HFHolidays, in
#SouthDowns NP.
A lone person sits on a grassy ridge in the South Downs, with a white windmill behind them under soft spring sunlight and layered distant hills.
Black and white close-up of a windmill, focusing on the intersecting blades and textured structure against a soft sky.
On the ridge, a quiet moment beneath the windmill and a bonus shot: windmill study in light and structure.

A view from the cliffs down to the pebbly beach at Birling Gap, with the Seven Sisters cliffs on the right and the sun low in the sky on the left.

I got out again today! Birling Gap beach is still closed after the cliff fall during the winter storms, but the cliffs are much more crowded than they used to be. It made a change to get some photos of the beach completely deserted! #EastSussex #SouthDowns

I was able to get out today for some #vgi collection on the Natural England #chalkstream dataset using the CrowdWater app.
I recommend using it when you're walking near watercourses.
Also used #qfield to record in #qgis.
Great to be on the #southdowns - although the streams were a bit murky

Great to see and hear so many birds on Devil's Dyke today.
What wasn't great was the amount of dogs not on leads where skylarks are nesting

Beautiful breezy walk around Bignor Hill, lovely to see a yellowhammer and later saw a small flock of them.
A few bluebells coming out too.

#Crows get a bad press sometimes and we forget how vital these clever corvids are & also how useful to us humans.
Here's a crow showing just how useful, vigorously muckspreading while feeding in the #chalkgrassland on the #SouthDowns.

So good to catch up with colleagues from BHCC, BHFP, and the SDNPA. It takes a village (or a city and a national park!) to make landscape-scale change happen. 🤝✨
