A very clear morning. We covered most of the sites on the Headland meeting up with RE and LP at Shooters Bottom. The early morning started well with a male Ring Ouzel exploded out calling from the top garden at Birling and headed towards the cliffs. Before we could make our way around there, it came flying fast back past us and headed towards the field with cattle. Without doubt this proved to be the highlight of the morning.
