Mum spotted a Grey Heron perched on a rooftop opposite our house at 18:30 today. Nothing much I know, but birds are thin on the ground at the moment. Despite what looked like perfect conditions today no migrants in Seaford, no singing Chiffchaffs, no overflying Meadow Pipits and Skylarks. I heard a chucking Redwing walking to school today, perhaps a migrant as the winter visitors disappeared several weeks ago. However, with Wheatear, Chiffchaff and various other migrants starting to appear in decent numbers in Sussex now, I'm fairly hopeful an excursion over the weekend may be rewarding for migration.

| I'm making a habit of using these old pictures simply to illustrate my blog now it seems. This Grey Heron isn't the one I saw on the rooftop (it was 6.30 pm and the light was appalling for photography), it was one that played Peek-a-boo in a ditch in the Cuckmere last April. |
