Hope Gap, Seaford Head 28/8/10

By far the highlight was the vast abundance of Wheatears. Over 6 years of doing this patch i have never seen anything like it. Atleast 80 Wheatears were counted in various places including a flock of 30. Mixed in with these were 11 Whinchats and around 128 Yellow Wagtails were feeding/flying over including a flock of 50.
Other highlights included 1 Spotted Flycatcher, 1 Grey Wagtail, 6 Tree Pipits, 27 Whitethroats, 7 Lesser Whitethroats, 23 Blackcaps, 25 Willow Warblers, 3 Chiffchaffs, 3 Reed Warblers and singles of Sedge and Garden Warblers.
