A bevy of 20 Mute swans at #CuckmereHaven + a handsome Stock Dove & pretty Collard Dove on my allotment fence for #BirdOfTheDay on both themes of #Swans & #Pigeons&Doves

First light on my car at Seaford Head / Belle Tout Lighthouse / Seven Sisters / Cuckmere Haven from above.
Got to get over there at sunset at some point, bet the light on the cliffs would look great.

The sea defences below the Coastguard Cottages at Cuckmere Haven in 2013 photographed by Hilary Jacobs Wallace. A couple of wooden groynes stretch out from right to left and cliffs rise from the beach to green grassland above.
The same location now 2025 showing the collapsed sea wall ravaged by the action of the sea.
The first image is by Hilary Jacobs Wallace in 2013 and clearly shows the sea defenses at that time. The second was taken by me last week showing how the power of the sea has reduced those sea defences to rubble!

Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus) described in Sussex by Blencowe & Hulme as “the most widely distributed and numerous of our ‘blue’ species”. This one in East Sussex at #CuckmereHaven whilst the following day I also saw them in West Sussex at #ThorneyIsland. @sussexwildlife.bsky.social
A Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe Oenanthe) blending in with the pebbles at #CuckmereHaven - it had 2 companions all obvious with white rumps when flying but disappearing when landing. All on their way to tropical Africa. A common Sussex passage migrant (Sussex Bird Report @sussexornitholo.bsky.social )
Tringa nebularia, the Greenshank, the “wader of the fog” but here on a sunny day (6/9) at #CuckmereHaven and down from northern taiga. A ‘fairly common migrant’ (Sussex Bird Report 2023 @sussexornitholo.bsky.social )

Saturday’s warm sunshine and humans and pinnipeds enjoying the chalky sea at #CuckmereHaven - in this photo a Grey Seal, which although common around the British coast is probably one of the world’s rarest seals.

Lasiommata megera, the Wall Brown, not a butterfly I get to see in the High Weald, though formerly found across Sussex, it is still reasonably common on the coastal plain - this female at #CuckmereHaven when I called by on 18/7 was my first for 2025.

An aerial view of some salt marsh at Cuckmere Haven in Sussex
This to me looks like an angry chick tossing away a worm, but in fact it is part of the valley bottom at Cuckmere Haven in Sussex.

The weather's still grey and dreary so I'm staying with my Summer paintings to cheer up the day :) "By The Edge Of The Sea " (2022) #cuckmerehaven #sussexlandscape #acrylicpainting #fineartpainting #traditionalart #seascape
Back to the wonderful days of Summer with this painting "Seaweed and Saltwater" (2018) I loved the the seaweed swirls among the pebbles ☺️ #acrylicpainting #fineart #Cuckmerehaven #Sevensisters #Sussex #seascape
There are some council meetings it is a pleasure to attend #Cuckmerehaven #SDNP from the Coastguard Cottages.
