Short Cliff, to the left of the old coastguard cottages, is one of the few not chalky white. I must look up its geology one day. This area of Cuckmere Haven's beach can be reached from either the South Hill Barn on top of Seaford Head, or by following the valley bottom path along the Cuckmere River's western bank, from the Exceat Bridge.

Some of my attempts at catching dragonflies in flight. They were all taken at a distance of 12 -15 feet, so these are small sections of larger photos. In the time I was there very few took time out to rest. If they did it was out of my view. The neighbouring photo shows one of the few occasions I caught one resting. If it is sunny next week I may go back and try again.

The bright Sun on the dried wheat stubble caused a bit of glare, so the contrast has had to be played about with in Photoshop, but I quite like the effect.

Two views of the Long Man of Wilmington - Why? Because I couldn't decide which to upload. I like the view through the trees in the other one, but the Long Man is very faint. In this one he is more visible but less picturesque.
