Pied Wheatear at Splash Point - a "lifer" for me

Splash Point, Seaford, East Sussex

I finally got to see this lovely bird.  It was showing well on the old ruined hotel building as I arrived along with a very friendly black redstart.

It's a first winter female which normally spends its time central Asia.  The only previous sighting in Sussex was 34 years ago so it's a lifer for me - my 3rd this year.

Lucky me - the bird moved on overnight after spending 7 days here , so I was one of the last to see it!
