TWO SHORT EARED OWLS !

As I took a  quick look round the spit this morning I unexpectedly flushed 2 Short Eared Owls just along the path between the hide and the Little Lagoon....from almost under my feet!

The RH Smew still present on the Lagoon.

More surveys seem to be being  taken along the beach and a yellow jacket and assistant were making notes just after 9.00am....a good sign hopefully!









A visit to Selsey was interesting as Barges loaded with rocks were being taken to the  Medmerry site to form barriers to prevent that area from being eroded...what about Pagham Beach!!.




A Black Headed Gull looked on.



At Church Norton there were a  siege of 11 Grey Herons (only 6 in this image)


and a group of birders birding!
