23rd October, 2020 Beachy Head Mainly bright with a moderate SW wind.

Both RE and LP visited the Headland but other than a few finches flying high over they had little of interest to report. SL spent 3 hours from 07.55 to 11.00, and visited Belle Tout wood, Birling lane, Went Hill, Michael Dene, and Shooters Bottom.  A small finch movement very high W. but otherwise the area was quiet with a single Ring Ouzel being the highlight.
