Sovereign Harbour near Eastbourne has a reputation for attracting unusual sea ducks and auks during the winter months. Last winter a Velvet Scoter stayed for several months feeding off the crabs which seem to be plentiful in both the inner and outer harbours. This year a Great Northern Diver had been present for several weeks in the outer harbour and when I arrived it swam close to the edge and fished for crabs. In the inner harbour there were also a pair of Guillemots who have an amazing ability to swim large distances underwater. I returned a couple of days later and also found a Razorbill in the inner harbour.
