25th August, 2015 Beachy Head Clear at first becoming overcast with rain later. W to S 5 gusting 6

Another windy day which made birding difficult on the headland. Covered a number of sites but very few birds could be found in the bushes. A short sea-watch for 15 minutes failed to produce any movement.
