Cuckmere Haven, Sussex
I went down to the Cuckmere this afternoon hoping to find a Caspian Gull or a Yellow-legged Gull in the roost.
- There were lots of Great Black-backed Gulls and several Herring Gulls but there was no sign of the target species.
- What I did find however was a Short-eared Owl on the eastern side of the river just below the start of the Seven Sisters walk. It was flying low over the grassy areas, landed on a post for a while until it was disturbed by a nearby walker and then it disappeared for a while. Thankfully it reappeared and all in all I managed 4 decent sightings - all of the same bird presumably.
A lovely late afternoon session at my favourite beauty spot on the south coast.
