Brown Hare early morning along the beach

The cold NE wind seems set for the near future keeping sea watch numbers low and migrants around the bushes virtually non existent.

 A Wheatear sheltering from the NE wind

2 Wheatears around the NE corner of The Desert were the best I could find, though I didn't stay long due to the number of dogs and dog walkers there. At the top of the Long Pits a couple of Willow Warblers and Blackcaps the pick of a very poor haul. 

1 of 2 Chiffchaffs in the lighthouse garden

The Common Crane was still at Dengemarsh viewable from the road by the manure heap. On Burrowes a trickle of Hirundines through, a Black-necked Grebe and 3 Little Gulls were the highlights.
