Seaford Head 16/8/14

Plenty of variety this morning but numbers were about average. An increasing northerly wind and the odd cloud cover slowed things down for a period. The first Snipe of the autumn were flushed by the dung heap and the sheep field which were certainly a surprise. Plenty of Hirundines as well moving through in a westerly direction.
