At least I hope so?!
Nothing stays the same, especially on the fastest eroding Coastline in Europe! Both Pill Boxes are now on the Beach and Cliff Farm is sadly no more. The Council didn't just demolish the Farm but they ripped the Trees out as well...unfortunately. However, a 30 yard strip of mature hedge remains and the area is "re-wilding".
This morning I had a couple of young Willow Warblers (P.106, H.83)...
...and a couple of Whitethroats...
...which showed the potential of the Site..he says hopefully. The highlight of the session came as I was leaving. I looked down the track towards Old Hive (bringing back many poignant memories) and "caught" a brief view of a decent sized Raptor gliding low towards me. It continued over my car and was lost to view. I was thinking...Sparrowhawk. I turned my car around not confident I would see it again. However as I drove down the track back to the main road there it was on the fence some 30 yards away...

It's rare for me to get such a great view locally.
A Yellow Wagtail had been lingering for a while and today I finally managed to "catch up" with it...
I spotted my first Arctic Skua (P.107, H.84) harassing the Terns at mid-distance.
Hopefully some more movement this weekend...
