Being a still morning I resisted going seawatching and devoted some time to the Head. This was a wise choice as a few (and I really mean a few) migrants had made landfall, with the highlight being a very vocal Grasshopper Warbler next to Harry's Bush. Singles of Sedge Warbler, Garden Warbler and Willow Warbler were the only other obvious arrivals.
Afterwards down at Splash Point, a fairly quiet session with Richard, John and Simon produced a close eastbound Shag, some Arctic Skuas and some smart Tern flocks migrating.
Today (2nd May), a short vigil down the Cuckmere produced a summer-plumaged Golden Plover settled on the west side, yet another Wader that you don't normally see here making the use of the recently flooded fields.
