29th March, 2019 Beachy Head Sunny but cool Wind light and variable

We joined RAB at Birling and sea-watched from 05.40-07.15. We then covered radio mast bushes, Icky Ridge, Hotel Garden and the Old Trapping Area. Met up with RE and LP who had covered the areas between Birling lane and Shooters Bottom.
Yet another very disappointing sea-watch, we still haven't recorded a Sandwich Tern this year, and the area was very quiet for migrants with 5-6 White Wagtails present in the newly ploughed field.
