25/9/94 Cuckmere

Aquatic Warbler 1 adult ex.

Adult Aquatic Warbler in the Cuckmere (Neil Morris)
On hearing of a report of an Aquatic Warbler in the Cuckmere from the day before, I left Beachy, but didn't have any idea of where to check in the Cuckmere. However, whilst walking a juncus-filled ditch, I saw a Warbler fly ahead of me and was greeted by the above beauty. Promptly putting out the news many observers managed to see this obliging bird before dusk. The streaking to its breast-sides and flanks age it as an adult.
