Danger - Deep water

The levels are currently at saturation point and the roads are barely passable in places - especially at the Herstmonceux end of New Bridge Road.  Please take care if visiting as there are inumerable potholes hidden under the water.
Plenty of activity this morning with a pale Buzzard & Water Rail on Down Level, and the resident Fox was watched trotting across the fields. Nearby there was a small flock of Teal at Rickney.  On Horse-eye one of the ringtail Hen Harriers watched quartering together with an immature male Marsh Harrier, and the jill Merlin sped through towards Rickney.  Between Looker's cottage and New Bridge a flock of 430+ Common Gull feeding on the flood contained 2 adult wp Meds and there was also a Water Rail here.
