I started off at Splash Point where a reasonable passage of Fulmars was going on. Was really hoping for a 'Blue' form but it wasn't to be, so was slightly disappointed to see Dunge had a fair few. Not much else so I headed down the Lower Cuckmere where a large Gull flock held a first-winter Caspian Gull.
In the sheep field between Chyncton Farm and the Cuckmere produced a different Scandinavian Rock Pipit feeding with the newly arrived Meadow Pipits.
Totals for Splash Point between 8.10-9.10am are:
