Seaford Head & Rottingdean 2/9/13

An uneventful morning today producing lots of the commoner migrants, but very little in the way of scarcities. The continued westerly winds over the past few days have ended the invasion of Pied Flys etc.
However an afternoon visit to Rottingdean produced the juv. Red-backed Shrike which was found on Saturday by Andy Whitcomb.
