Cuckmere Haven

A frosty and clear morning tempted me down to the Cuckmere, where it was -2'C.


Good numbers of waterfowl on the meanders looked fantastic in a swirling mist, that slowly burnt off as the sun rose above the Downs.






I had great views of two Water Rails, one at the salt pans and one at the scrape. Also at the scrape was a Whimbrel and two Greenshank. A bonus was a Spotted Redshank.
