19 Apr 2013 Beachy Head Overcast cold W4-5 decreasing

We sea-watched from 06.30-07.05 but the sea movement was virtually non-existence. We then covered the Birling/Belle Tout loop and walked the field. Met up with RDME who had covered Whitbread Hollow and also with RKH & RK and covered Shooters Bottom and the Hotel Garden. Just the odd migrants seen including 3 Firecrests and our first Redstart for the year.
