A nice walk along the seafront from the Stade to Bexhill in bright sunshine yesterday produced a total of 134 Turnstones, again well down on the 200 or so wintering 2 years ago. Nice to see the small group on the grass verge at the W end of St leonards, ignoring the traffic and passers by, I haven’t seen them for some time.
Other birds were a lone Dunlin at Glyne Gap-but no sign of any Purple Sandpipers; a Black Redstart popped up on one of the beach huts near the cafe.
