A Carrion Crow outside Mum and Dads was my first bird of the new decade. A fairly low key start to the New Year with a wander out on to Iford Brooks with Mum and Dad in search of yesterday’s Glossy Ibis and White-fronted Goose. We failed to find either but did see large numbers of Wigeon and Lapwing, 3 Shelduck, 9 Little Egrets, 2 Common Buzzards, a Golden Plover, Stock Dove, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Kestrel, 2 Cetti's Warblers and 75 Fieldfares. Newhaven Harbour was similarly quiet with little of note bar 11 Shelduck on the sea, 6 Fulmars and a couple of Rock Pipits as was the walk from Woodingdean to the Amex where Brighton drew 1-1 with Chelsea.
