Splash Point, Ashdown & Southease 18/2/13

I got down Splash Point at first light and seawatched til 8.30. There was a steady movement of birds passing but when passage slowed, I headed up to Ashdown with Dick where we stayed for about 5 hours. Weir Wood was visited but held nothing of note. Southease was our last stop.
