Seaford Head 26/8/18

Very quiet this morning which wasn't a great surprise due to the incoming frontal system. A flock of 40 Commic Terns flew high and south at 06.20, and thankfully the Wryneck (typically elusive) found yesterday was still present at Hope Gap, though most of the migrants reported yesterday had departed overnight.  In Hope Bottom the Blackcap flock is starting to increase, with at least 30 birds present currently.

A seawatch off Peacehaven late morning before the rain came produced very little.
