On thursday, 14 Oct, a PALLAS'S WARBLER was reported at Belle Tout Wood, Beachy Head. The following day Dad and I went for a look, but we arrived a few hours too late. No Pallas's Warbler, just a few
Goldcrests and 15+
Chiffchaff. A huge flock of hirundines were overhead, including about 100
House Martin and 50
Swallow. In Belle Tout were loads of
Blue Tits, a
Kestrel and a
Green Woodpecker. But no sign of the formerly regular Tawny Owls. I suspect there is now so much Ivy on the trees they can hide away undetected.
