Cuckmere Haven 1/6/16

On arrival with low cloud were hundreds of Swifts flying just above the ground and meanders. At times they were using me as a wind shield and showing exceptionally well along the river bank. A Short-eared Owl was seen a couple of times around the saltmarsh and the singing Reed Warbler was still in the SE corner of the scrape. A juvenile Pied Wagtail was also nice to see on one of the saline lagoons.

 a very late, but welcome Short-eared Owl
