Seaford Head & Lower Cuckmere 6/11/15

No sign of the Snow Bunting this morning, but not surprising since it was last reported at the weekend. Obviously due to the weather there was very little about, although Harry's Bush held a few Goldcrest. The only bird of note was an adult Mediterranean Gull in with a small flock of Black-headed Gulls by Chyncton Farm.

In the Lower Cuckmere, the Gull flock held another adult Mediterranean Gull, an adult argentatus Herring Gull, and a very small, frosty, and very long-winged 1w Lesser Black-backed Gull which appeared very Caspian Gull like, when in flight showed a complete white upper-tail with a dark tail band, possibly suggesting a Baltic-type bird, but annoyingly the bird took flight almost straight away allowing no photos to be taken.
