14th April, 2015 Beachy Head Sunny and warm with fog rolling in during the early morning and became patchy. SW light

Arrived at Birling to a fine sunny morning with sea-fog out to sea. We were able to sea-watch from 06.50-08.20 when the fog rolled in. Highlight was 4 Avocets E. We then covered most of the sites on the Head including Icky Ridge with reasonable numbers of migrants left over from yesterday.
