23rd May, 2019 Beachy Head Murky out to sea, sunny periods, warm Wind light and variable

We sea-watched from 06.25-08.00 and we then covered Birling lane, Radio mast bushes, Icky Ridge, Old Trapping Area, and Shooters Bottom. LP also covered a number of sites on the Headland.
Small movement of Common Scoters and a late Brent Goose on the sea. Very little seen in the way of new migrants although LP heard a Bee-eater calling near the Hotel Garden, and a Hobby came in over the cliffs at Shooters Bottom and flew directly N inland.
