A very chilly walk down the Cuckmere was better then expected with most of the weekend stuff still present. However the highlight was a drake Tufted Duck on the meanders which is a very good record for here. Around the scrape was a male Wheatear (my first of the year), two Firecrest and five Avocets, whilst six Pintail and a very large flock of Brent Geese were present on the fields, totalling over 500 birds.
