Onto Lewes Brooks and large increase in the numbers of birds present with large numbers of Teal, Wigeon, Lapwings, Black-headed Gulls and Starlings. Also c15 Pintail and the 4 White-fronted Geese were also present. Several times all the birds took flight which was an amazing sight, but we were unable to pick out any raptors which may have been the cause.
