My first trip to Splash Point which is at the eastern end of the promenade in Seaford, East Sussex, where the cliffs start to rise before dropping again at Cuckmere Haven. I had read that this was a good place to see Black Redstarts and sure enough as soon as I arrived I found two female type birds on the sea front. They seemed oblivious to the passers by, many of whom stopped to look at them and take pictures with their i-phones. Further up on top of the cliffs there was an equally photogenic Raven.

Later I drove to the west pier at Newhaven where there were two Fulmars sitting on the cliff face and a Rock Pipit on the pier.
