highlight of airbourne, taken from the garden! these things are big and loud and bloody impressive when they skim over your house, cant comprehend what it would have been like during the war.

curlew sand still down the cuckmere, also 2 lrp, otherwise pretty quiet. yesterday a bonxie off beachy and some porpoise were properly porpoising in the rougher sea.

from the garden

3 green sandpipers at west rise.

i did juv ylg's to death 10 years ago but enjoyed the novelty of these confiding birds in eastbourne recently

fun up the river. thin lips on lures. bit lethargic on the birding front, wouldn't mind some decent seawatching conditions now. only thing of note lately a couple of ylg's coming to bread at prince's park.

when gulls are up close you lose a lot of what makes them look good, but still these ylg's were the closest i've had them in the uk.
