Seaford Head + Cuckmere Haven 1/10/13

Plenty of birds moving overhead this morning including the first Brambling of the autumn. The bushes were as usual quiet and there was no sign of yesterdays Booted Warbler.

An afternoon walk down the Cuckmere with a lot of time spent around Foxhole cottages didn't produce any Sibes, but plenty of Chiffchaffs scattered about.
