Some nice encounters on a wander around Seaford Head and along the west side of the Cuckmere. Notably my first Wheatears of the year, a Black Redstart, singing Corn Buntings, seen in a couple of places along the walk possibly as many as 12 altogether, and some very posy Stonechats, Meadow Pipits and Fulmars. Nice to hear plenty of Skylarks singing as well. Weather started a bit grey and windy but improved quite quickly, though the wind meant my decision to go thermal was justified! Some pictures below.
