Seaford Head + Cuckmere Haven 27/9/13

A few degrees cooler this morning and a slight strength in the easterly wind was probably the reason for few birds in the bushes. However this was compensated by the overhead passage of several species. I walked the Cuckmere straight after but there wasn't much about. No sign of the Wryneck. Will probably give the weekend a miss, the wind is picking up even more!
