American Robin: An unexpected twitch to Eastbourne saw me fill the car with Damian, Steve T and Iggo for a very early start. Our aim was to get there for first light and we made good time but still arrived to a excited crowd who had already seen the bird before our arrival.
We only had to wait 20 minutes before the bird came out from behind the garages and put on a brilliant show. The bird wasn't shy as it fed in the bushes and nearby trees and even after we left the bird came even closer! Absolutely brilliant.
After we had our fill we drove a few miles toward the shore to see the Hume's leaf warbler and then to the golden arches to bag ourselves a plant based burger and a hooded crow.
