Weir Wood Reservoir, East Sussex
- After the excitement of the Crossbills this morning it was off to work at Weir Wood reservoir after lunch. Even here I was able to add Marsh Tit and Treecreeper to my year list.

Stonehill, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex
- I had no luck finding any Dartford Warblers - my target bird.
- I did however come across a flock of 25+ Linnets as I walked round the site.
- A lovely Mistle Thrush was feeding on the ground, as I made my way back to the car park.
- A Song Thrush soon joined it, followed by 4 or 5 Redwings.

Newhaven Tidemills, East Sussex
- I took the opportunity of a convenient high tide to look for Purple Sandpipers at Newhaven Tidemills. True to form there were at least 8 of these beauties showing really well. Surprisingly they were on top of the east pier with some Turnstones - on every occasion previously they were below the pier near the water level.
- Fulmars were flying close to the cliffs on the west side.
- Also seen was a Meadow Pipit, a Redshank and 3 Stonechats.
