10th February 2022 : Eastbourne
American Robin.
An early morning trip to Hill road in Eastbourne on Thursday the 10th February was rewarded with spectacular views of an American Robin.
We arrived on site at approx 6.40am and we could hear at least 2 Tawny Owls calling from the nearby woodland plus plenty of Song Thrush & Blackbirds singing in the new morning.

Once daylight had arrived and more & more birds were appearing from their night time roosts we were all waiting in anticipation of the American Robin putting on a show !!
We were not disappointed , the American Robin put on an amazing display, feeding hungrily on the plentiful berries, hopping about on the grass , flying all around us and could often be heard ' calling '.
Many thanks to the residents of Hill Road for allowing us all access to see this amazing bird.

After leaving Eastbourne we headed to Leysdown-on-Sea in the search for the wintering flock of Shorelarks.
We managed to see all 7 Shorelarks on the beach between the free car park at Warden Point and Central Beach, they once again showed really well and with patience the birds come really close, however all my photo's are digi-scoped.
