28 Jan 2013 Beachy Head Sunny mild cloud cover 1/8 SW4

Bob covered Birling lane, and then walked to Belle Tout gully and onto the wood and back to Birling, with the milder weather most of the Thrushes appeared to have departed:

Sparrowhawk 1
Fieldfare 6
Redwing 6
Song Thrush 1 (41 recorded in this same area on the 25th).

RHC recorded from Hodcombe approx. 1,000 Fieldfares, at the start of the cold spell, but also didn't record any Woodcocks etc.
