23rd August, 2019 Beachy Head Hot and sunny light East breeze

Hot and sunny morning. We could only stay for a short period due to a medical appointment and we had to leave by 10.30 am We were able to cover Birling lane and scrub, Old Trapping area, Icky Ridge and Hotel Garden, Shooters Bottom and Belle Tout wood. LP and JP were covering the Headland sites as well as sites outside of the Beachy Head area. RE and two members of the BHRG were ringing in Whitbread Hollow.
Just small numbers of night migrants present up to when we left, although LP and JP connected with 3 Honey Buzzards during the early afternoon and a Nightjar during the evening. Unfortunately, I do not have a separate list of LP's totals for the Beachy Head area, and therefore are not included in the following list.
