Seaford Head 20/8/13

Despite the slow start, the morning totals weren't that bad. I assume a big clear out this week will occur with the constant clear nights and very settled conditions, and no doubt the Blackcaps will arrive in force soon. Totals are:

Pied Flycatcher - 4
Redstart - 3
Wheatear - 3
Whinchat - 5
Tree Pipit - 3
Hobby - 1
Yellow Wagtail - 20
Whitethroat - 40
Lesser Whitethroat - 4
Garden Warbler - 1
Blackcap - 1
Willow Warbler - 22
Chiffchaff - 4
Reed Warbler - 9
Sedge Warbler - 1
Swallow - 200
Sand Martin - 10

Yesterday a ringtail Hen Harrier was seen north of Seaford near to Bo-Peep.
