Much colder morning. My brother and myself covered Birling lane, and then spent a good hour walking the set-a-side field. We then covered Hotel Garden, Icky Ridge and the Cliff Path. KH and RES covered the toilet block bushes, Belle Tout wood and Holywell, RB covered Old Trapping Area, Shooters Bottom and Belle Tout.
Generally very quiet in the bushes and very little diurnal migration logged.

As we were travelling westwards along the A259 from East Dean to the Cuckmere bridge, a ring-tailed Hen Harrier came flying north off the Seven Sisters Country Park across the A259 and headed over the Friston forest being mobbed by 3 corvids.
