Twite, Serin & Snow Bunting

Well the Twite did end up staying at the west bank of the Cuckmere so I picked up Luke Dray and we went over on Friday. At first it didn't show but after 15 minutes of waiting I spotted it feeding on the deck and it subsequently gave great views there and perched up. A Sussex tick for us both & a good one at that. We had a quick look through the gulls but didn't find much of note, although the Cackling Geese and Barnacle Geese were nearby, so we headed over to Newhaven for the Serin. I manged to pick it out by the ruins almost immediately and it showed well for 20 minutes or so before flying off eastwards; another Sussex tick for LD. Heading home I dropped off Luke and finding all under control at home (!), I went over to East Head for a look for the reported Snow Buntings. Unfortunately, an idiot dog owner was repeatedly letting her charge harass both the Buntings and the Sanderlings but they eventually settled for a few minutes at the north-west end.
