After the last few eventful weeks birding around Sussex, it was back to the mundane stuff with a visit to Beachy. Surprisingly, it was cool and misty during the early morning and no sign of any early returning migrants, with the highlight being a pod of between 8 and 10 Bottlenose Dolphins moving east past Birling.
