A trip down to Pagham harbour NR today with Loren. one of my first out of county birding spots from many years ago.
A bit of a blustery day on the sea shore but some areas were very sheltered and quite warm.
Did not count any numbers, just noted some of the species seen.
Mute Swan, Shelduck, Shoveler, Teal, Gadwall, Great-crested Grebe, Cormorant, Little Egret, Grey Heron, Coot, Oystercatcher, Avocet, Ringed Plover, Gey Plover, Knot, Turnstone, Dunlin, Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Curlew, 5 Gull species, Sandwich Tern, Sand Martin, Swallow, Wheatear, Blackcap, Cetti’s Warbler, Chiffchaff and Reed Bunting etc.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Small White, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock.
Thanks to Loren for the Dunnock pic and the Little Egret Vid and to Sian Chandler for the Turnstone pic, taken further along the coast in Hampshire.
