Arrived at Birling to another bright but cold early morning with misty conditions out to sea. We sea-watched from 06.50-08.50 and then covered many of the birding sites including Birling lane, Radio mast bushes, Hotel Garden, Icky Ridge, Old Trapping Area, Shooters Bottom and Belle Tout wood.
Sea-watching was generally fairly quiet and no new arrivals could be found in the bushes.
