Seaford Head 25/7/14

Still the north easterly breeze was evident this morning which no doubt kept a few birds down. The highlight was a Marsh Harrier hunting over the sheep field briefly early on. Other than this, only small numbers of migrants seen.

Marsh Harrier - 1
Nightingale - 1 'croaking' in Hope Gap
Whitethroat - 18
Lesser Whitethroat - 4
Willow Warbler - 8
Sedge Warbler - 1
Reed Warbler - 1
Blackcap - 1
Swallow - 50 east
Swift - 50 east

Afterwards, myself and Mick kayaked from Splash Point to the Cuckmere, and at approx. a mile out to sea, we came across a couple of Jellyfish, the one below around one metre long.
