10 March 2014 Beachy Head Fine sunny warm Nil becoming NE 2-3

We sea-watched from 06.40-08.40 and then again from 10.15-10.45. We were joined by RDME who then went and visited Whitbread Hollow, Cow Gap and the Gully. Most of the sites on the Headland were also covered.
Just a trickle on new night migrants but with NE winds the sea-watch was very slow.
