Glossy Ibis in the Sussex sunshine at Cuckmere!

A lightning trip down to Brighton to visit dear friends Jane & Jason and Mum-in-Law provided a brief window of opportunity to hunt for the long-staying Glossy Ibis at Cuckmere.

We initially parked by the road bridge and walked north, but the only things of interest were the many huge Grey Mullet in the River and a couple of Little Egrets. Jason suggested driving around to the Friston Forest viewpoint: a good move - I found the Ibis straight away! Always distant, but a great bird, shared with great friends!
