Seaford Head & Cuckmere Haven 13/3/18

A lot of hours spent in the field today with pretty much the same results as yesterday. Late morning on the Headland were 3 Firecrests and the same feeding flock of Redwing near to Harry's Bush.

The Cuckmere in the afternoon was equally quiet with still no increase in Rock Pipits, and those I'm seeing are all of the petrosus type. The Knot is now on the scrape, as was a showy Water Rail, and 10 Pintail were also scattered about. For the second evening running there was nothing along Newhaven West Beach. Very little else to report in what is a month more of hope or expectation, then reality.
