On the drive to Beachy, we had a Barn Owl along the A27 near Drussillas.
Arrived at 06.15 and sea-watched for almost 2 hours but virtually no movement recorded. We then covered Shooters Bottom, Old Trapping Area and Hotel Garden but only the odd migrants seen. We then returned to Birling for a further sea-watch but still very dire and so gave up after 30 minutes or so.
