Newhaven West Pier, Sussex
As I was conducting my Woodlark Survey for the BTO on my patch at Ashdown Forest, word came through of a Woodchat Shrike on the coast at Newhaven. Martin and I agreed to meet up later and travel down for the "twitch. I added Willow Warbler to my 2025 list as a byproduct of the survey.
It turned out to be one of those easy twitches. The viewing point was less than 10 metres from the car and the shrike was showing well on the fence at the bottom of the cliffs.
