31st March: Pagham Harbour

Sunday 31st March, Sunny spells, 10°, fresh NE.

A sunny day with a biting onshore wind at Pagham Harbour West Sussex.

Mainly a day of waders, however the tide was out and most were quite distant.

Not many passerines present but a couple of Willow Warbler, several Chiffchaff and Blackcap were apparent.

Back to the waders: at least 12 Avocet present on the Ferry pool, approx. 80 Black-tailed Godwit, elsewhere, several Redshank, Curlew, Oystercatcher, Ringed Plover, and a single Little Ringed Plover.

Amongst the many Gulls present were 2 Mediterranean Gull and up to 4 Sandwich Tern.

Shelduck, Shoveler, Teal and Wigeon were notable duck species around.

Butterflies: Brimstone, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock.
