After a rather disappointing session at Beachy this morning with my Naturetrek group, this evening down the Cuckmere just about revived me. The waders are still keeping interest high, with now four Knot, 25 Dunlin, singles of Green, Common and Wood Sandpiper and three Greenshanks amongst the highlights. As I was walking back up towards the pub, a White Stork flew past me and decided to land on Exceat Bridge... it thankfully stayed long enough for a record shot!
Today, at Beachy, a raptor watch with LP produced a Marsh Harrier and a distant White Stork - presumably the one seen in the Cuckmere later on. A Swift also flew over plus a small scattering of common migrants.
