A trip to Rye and we were rewarded with a major flock of 19 Scaup on Long Pit. Sadly it’s a major struggle to get a single bird in Sussex now, so flocks like these are now a long distant memory.

Two good patch birds seen on this day with a Snow Bunting on the golf course, and in the Cuckmere exactly where the Gulls congregate now,  a juv  Glaucous Gull was present in a small Gull flock.

My first ever Waxwings and superb views were had of what was only a small proportion that were recorded in Sussex in the first winter period.

A lot of time was spent searching for this bird, and finally we connected. However on arriving home, we were unaware that a flock of 8 had been found no more than 15 minutes away. We enjoyed all of these as well.
