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.
