Arrived with Doreen at 06.25 to a warm, overcast but calm morning. Met up with RDME at Birling Gap. Spent 5 hours walking all the usual sites and saw Martin Casemore as we were about to leave Belle Toute wood. Birling Gap area was pretty quiet, but Shooters Bottom was much more lively with good numbers of Whitethroats and Reed Warblers. Little diurnal migration seen, but a Whinchat briefly on Icky Ridge was only our 2nd for the year.
