6th and 7th November, 2020 Beachy Head

6th November, 2020

 LP and AQ both independently visited the Headland but with a strong breeze blowing made birding around the bushes very difficult and other than Goldcrests very few migrants were recorded.

Combined totals: Swallow 1, Rock Pipit 1, Goldcrest 60+ across the Headland, Firecrest 1 Headland, Goldfinch 500 E, Yellow Hammer 1 Cornish farm track,
