Welcome
This blog details bird sightings from Banstead Downs and the local area (Belmont, Cheam, Epsom, Ewell, Carshalton, Banstead etc; but no Beddington Farm). Most sightings are my own but I will post any other interesting reports up.
See below for Firecrest viewing instructions.

VIEWING INSTRUCTIONS
AS OF LATE FEB 2010
Park at the south end of Burdon Lane (which runs just parallel to, and just west of, Belmont Rise).
Enter Banstead Downs Golf Course, which is obvious from where you've parked.
As you enter, look to your right, you will almost immediately see a noticeboard. This is where the wooded footpath begins.
Walk c.220 metres along the wooded footpath to the current favoured area between telegraph poles 657 and 3 and search for the birds.
The birds CAN be seen anywhere along the wooded footpath (or, occasionally, elsewhere) though, so if you don't see them in this favoured area, check the rest of the footpath. Also note that the favoured area is subject to change but I will alert you to any changes)
If you encounter any problems or want further information please feel free to contact me at birdnut@surfbirder.com.
PLEASE BE AWARE
The birds have always been present only between October and March, however, no news, negative or postive, is released between March and August inclusive and it would be appreciated if everybody could co-operate with this for obvious reasons.
