15th October, 2015 Beachy Head Overcast and cool NE 1

At last a day without any wind, but unfortunately very few birds seen in the bushes and virtually no visible overhead migration. At least we were able to cover virtually all the main sites on the head in reasonable conditions. Still some left over Song Thrushes in the area and our first Brambling of the autumn was recorded.
