Seaford Head 31/8/15

With thunderstorms through the night I was expecting too much for this morning, hence it was slightly disappointing in terms of migrant numbers.. I did two visits today, the afternoon being obviously quieter but thankfully warmer so Flycatchers were more evident, but the highlight was a Marsh Harrier over Harry's Bush. No sign of the Wryneck all day.
