26th July, 2020 Beachy Head Overcast cool, W 4 increasing to 5-6 at times

We covered Birling scrub and the tamarisk bushes, Shooters Bottom and the radio mast bushes. RAB and LP covered the Old Trapping Area, Shooters Bottom and Belle Tout area.
Generally the bushes were again quiet for migrants although the Old Trapping Area appeared to have a late arrival of a small fall of Willow Warblers as only a very few were seen at other sites. An interesting leucistic type Pied Wagtail was seen in the Belle Tout area, and a Grasshopper Warbler was present in Shooters Bottom.

Kestrel 3
Swift 1
Pied Wagtail 1 leucistic type B/T area
