2nd August, 2019 Beachy Head Sunny early morning than becoming overcast. NE 3-4

We covered Birling lane and scrub, Shooters Bottom, Old Trapping Area, radio mast bushes, Belle Tout wood and scrub area. Felt very tired after this so we left for home.
Small fall of night migrants chiefly Willow Warblers with the highlight being a Grasshopper Warbler at Birling. No overhead diurnal passage recorded.
