at the res 1 common sand, 3 white + 7 yellow wag on the dam.

the rain brought some waders down in the cuckmere - 3 avocet, 1 greenshank, 1 lrp, 3 ringed plover, 25 dunlin and 2 common sand on the east side. went back in the afternoon to the west side. there were 2 imm black redstarts at hope gap, one of which was singing, and an adult male near the coastguards. in scrub to the south of harry's bush were 3 pied flycatchers. a black and white male was surprisingly only the 4th i've seen in this plumage.







above 3 images show was must be an unusual retarded immature male (going by greater covert pattern). it's gotta be a different bird to the top 4 images (wings too asymmetrical, dark throat patches) although didn't see 2 birds together.
