Seaford Head 2/8/18

A clear out pretty much from yesterday, although surprisingly the Pied Flycatcher had remained overnight. What were new in were three very vocal Nightingales, but 'best' was saved until last as a juv/fem Marsh Harrier flew in from the north, circled to a good height and then headed back west. This probably being my earliest sighting in the autumn.

Totals are:

Willow Warbler - 8
Whitethroat - 13
Lesser Whitethroat - 4
Nightingale - 3
Sedge Warbler - 1
Blackcap - 1
Reed Warbler - 3
Pied Flycatcher - 1 still at Harry's Bush
Marsh Harrier - 1 juv/fem
