Sunny Seaford

 Headed down to Seaford this morning in the hope for some migratory action. Plenty going on with Meadow Pipits, Chiffchaffs, Swallows and Housemartins on the move in big numbers. In fact was surrounded by the Pipits and the Hirundines the whole time with hundreds of each seen throughout the morning! There were also good numbers of Goldfinch and Linnets about as well, with a very large flock of Linnets on the crop planted for winter bird food opposite the Dungheap! 

Five Wheatears, a few Yellow Wagtails, a Raven and a Peregrine added a bit of quality to the quantity! Pictures of most below!

Managed to get up in time for sunrise

A lovely morning in glorious weather with loads of birds!! Could have done with something rare, but as you know I'm never happy!!!
