We covered Birling lane, and scrub opposite, Shooters Bottom, Old Trapping Area, Hotel Garden and Belle Tout wood. Headland very quiet with Whitethroat numbers much fewer today than on the 4th. An interesting party of 9 Ravens tumbling in the up-current from the cliffs at Birling for a good 10 minutes before landing on the cliff top much to the annoyance of the local Jackdaws. The only migrant seen was a single adult Willow Warbler in Shooters Bottom.
Little Egret 1
Song Thrush 1
Common Whitethroat 12
