Margie and I had a wander around Seaford Head last Sunday, didn't arrive until about 8.30 and due to Margie's dodgy knee we didn't go far! Bit of migration on offer, couple of Lesser Whitethroats and at least one Redstart on the track to the aircraft beacon, a Whinchat along the fence line adjacent to the golf course, but it was mostly Common Whitethroats and Stonechats! Other highlights included 10 plus Clouded Yellow Butterflies and a similar amount of Painted Ladies!! Biggest shock was the 8 quid car park charge, not even any signs saying about it either. I suppose it will be justified by the addition of toilets which on Sunday at least were too disgusting to use! Anyway a few pics below! (Not of the state of the toilets you will be glad to know!💩)

We looked over the Cuckmere, couple of Egrets in with the Cattle one of which was giving me Cattle Egret vibes, but it was miles away and the pics are crap! We also had a Peregrine spiralling up over the valley!
