Pagham Harbour Nature reserve, Hot and Sunny, slight S/E breeze
Again another hot day, with a little breeze just to help keep my sanity. Today was a bit more interesting than yesterday with a few of the commoner speicies that I have not seen for about ten years or so, Corn Bunting being one and Ruff being the other, the latter just comming out of breeding plumage and both speicies being boys. other bits included, 4 Avocets, 15+ Black-tailed Godwits, 2 Common Sands, 10+ Redshank, lapwings, 1 Dunlin, and 2 Red-legged partridge all on the Ferry Pool. Tha harbour area and surrounding farmland produced a couple of little Egret, Corn Bunting, Oystercatcher and the usuals.

COMMON ROSEFINCH, After a long awaited blog after an absence and change of address I've found some news to post. A new tick just around the corner from my last one, in the form of a loud, lost young Rosefinch, which I failed to see the day before on my first visit, looked like the early get up was worth it after all : ).
