Cuckmere Haven 01/03/2017

Awful weather today, to visibility was poor. Despite all this, there were plenty of birds to be seen, although mainly on the water, as the passerines appeared to be (sensibly) taking to  the shelter of the sparse bushes and trees. The only birds that were not sheltering the storm were a couple of Meadow Pipits, which kept us amused when there was nothing else to be seen. The best birds of the windswept area were a single adult Mediterranean Gull, and a Glaucous Gull on the meanders, and there were at least two Snipe on the lagoons, along with the best bird of the day, which was a single GREAT WHITE EGRET, which was braving the rain on the lagoon.
