17 August 2013 Beachy Head Overcast SW 1-3

We covered most of the sites on the Headland with JK and we also met up with RK. The BHRG were ringing in Whitbread Hollow. Willow Warbler numbers were low on the Headland but a reasonable fall occurred in the Hollow although birds had soon moved on. Otherwise there was just a thin scattering of other night migrants in the area.
