Cuckmere Haven

A cold and bright day with a cutting easterly wind. Passage waders in the valley despite the number of visitors. I saw Greenshank, Dunlin, Little Ringed Plover and Kentish Plover. The latter was a lifetime first, though a rather distant and unrewarding view. I also saw a Water Pipit on the river and a pair of Corn Bunting near the scrape.

Greenshank. The first one I have seen in this country this year, having already seen then overwintering on the coast in Gambia.
