19th April, 2018 Beachy Head Sunny and hot, but murky out to sea. SE 1

Another hot and sunny day although murky out to sea. We met up with KG, AR, and RE and were also joined by RKH, RES and KH and we sea-watched from 06.05-10.35. Another very busy watch with Terns and Little Gulls moving in good numbers, although unfortunately most were a longish way out, but thanks to the sharp eyes of KG who picked up the majority of the terns and gulls.
RE decided to cover the area and visited Birling lane, Birling loop, Cornish Farm track, Belle Tout wood and Shooters Bottom but with the very clear weather very few migrants could be found.
Once again many thanks to Doreen for keeping the log book running.
