Splash Point, Seaford Head & Cuckmere Haven 17/3/16

A quieter seawatch this morning probably wasn't helped by a stronger NE wind. A light passage of Divers was noted but very few other species recorded. 

Seaford Head was dead other then a few Meadow Pipits heading north, so a break at home to thaw out was had before an afternoon trek down the Cuckmere that once again lacked any migrants, although the scrape held a few bits.
