23/03/2016 Seaford Head

Wednesday 23 March 2016
Seaford Head, East Sussex

Another glorious morning so I continued yesterday's quest to find the first Wheatear of 2016, this time at Seaford Head on my own. 

• There were plenty of Meadow Pipits and Stonechats but alas I could not find any Wheatears.

Today's species list:

Black –headed Gull	Little Egret
Blackbird	Magpie
Canada Goose	Meadow Pipit
Carrion Crow	Raven
Chaffinch	Robin
Common Gull	Shelduck
Cormorant	Skylark
Curlew	Stonechat
Dunnock	Wigeon
Feral Pigeon
Gadwall
Great Black-backed Gull
Grey Heron
Herring Gull	(25)
Jackdaw
Kestrel

No luck again but I had a good walk from Splash Point down to the cottages on the west side of the Cuckmere before returning via the higher route.

Later on that night between 18.30 and 19.30, whilst helping Chris D with a Toad's Survey, I heard my first Tawny Owl of 2016.
