Cuckmere Haven 31/10/18

A longish day out in the field for a last chance of an October rare, but like all other days there was very little about.

The only highlights of the day were a Firecrest in Hope Bottom, and in the Cuckmere was a mega site tick, this being an Eider that was found along the river. The long staying pair of Knot and the single Grey Plover were also along the river. Tide Mills and Newhaven West Beach were very quiet.
