It took nearly three hours of careful scanning in the wind but eventually the Shorelark revealed itself in the southeast corner of the Flat Beach, a Sussex tick for me, loosely among a scattering of about 25 Skylarks. I didn't have much time to look for much else but did note four Dark-bellied Brent Geese, two Grey Plovers, 600 or so Golden Plovers, a Knot, a Cetti's Warbler, five Mistle Thrushes and four Rock Pipits.
