I was out at the very early time of 5am where I spent some time trying to listen for Long eared Owls at a few areas on the patch. To cut a long story short... I didn't hear any. I did manage to hear 5 Grey Partridge and 4 Golden Plover as the light picked up. I then spent some time watching the sea from the cliffs at Bishopstone for an hour before walking along the seafront and back checking the bushes. Birds noted included 2 Egyptian Geese (66) flying east, 1 Shelduck, 49 Woodpigeon, 6 Collared Dove, 3 Grey Plover (67), 1 Curlew, 1 Turnstone, 6 Sanderling, 110 Black headed Gull, 2 Common Gull, 90 Herring Gull, 2 Great Black backed Gull, 2 Great crested Grebe and 21 Red throated Diver. There were 8 Cormorant, 2 Green Woodpecker, 3 Jackdaw (68), 7 Blue Tit, 3 Great Tit, 2 Skylark, 1 Cetti's Warbler (69), 2 Long tailed Tit, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Firecrest, 1 Song Thrush, 1 Stonechat, 5 Dunnock, 2 Meadow Pipit (70), 1 Chaffinch, 76 Linnet, 6 Goldfinch (71) and 3 Siskin (72). Nocmig recording Saturday night produced 1 White fronted Goose and a few Brent Geese and Ringed Plover calls.
