Seaford Head 12/8/16

A lovely morning to be out but I could only cover half the circuit due to work. Another fresh arrival of birds but not the numbers of earlier in the week. As the season is progressing a few 'firsts' of the autumn are appearing, but other species are slow to get going, with today noting no Acros at all, and still no Groppers seen yet. Very little moving overhead today and by mid-morning the area became quiet due to the strengthening westerly wind.

Totals are:

Tree Pipit - 1
Nightingale - 2
Corn Bunting - 3 N
Redstart - 1
Whitethroat - 30
Lesser Whitethroat - 10
Blackcap - 5
Garden Warbler - 1
Willow Warbler - 45
Chiffchaff - 1
