Another WWFF activation day. This time we were out looking for two activations for Stephen 2E0OWI to complete his Brass Monkey award #5 & #6, GFF-0358 Weadlen Heaths and GFF-0018 Southdown’s National Park. He managed the 44 plus QSO’s for GFF-0835 but not quite there for GFF-0018, so another visit before the end of February will be in order.
During the activation we spotted a Great Spotted Woodpecker, well just about, it was high up in the canopy of the trees and I had to thread through the branches and twigs with the long lens. Not a great shot but managed to get a glimpse.
With the first activation over and done with within the hour we then decided to go for activation number 2 which took us to the Southdown’s National Park.
As we approached the point chosen for the activation the drizzle started to come in with a bit of a temperature drop but compared to some of the temperatures we have endured this year it was pretty mild.
Here we spotted a number of Red Kites, again these were some distance away but the long lens proved handy again. And of course we had the company of the obligatory Robin.
