5th September, 2018 Beachy Head Overcast with N 3-4

RAB and RB visited the Headland today and covered the following sites. Walk from Warren Hill Down into East Hale Bottom over Long Down up to the Cattle Fields, and then along to the Toilet Block bushes, then onto Icky Ridge and Shooters Bottom.
Generally night migrants were scarce although 16 Wheatears were logged, but the only warbler seen was a single Willow Warbler. Diurnal migration was also slow with small numbers of House Martins and 12 Yellow Wagtails East.
