An early morning visit to the Ferry proved disapponting as I had hoped the Black Winged Stilt would still be present...it was not to be.
So, a visit to Chuch Norton to see what was around. First up, Andrew House of Selsey Blogger fame! ( joint editor) We watched a Chiffchaff gathering nesting material....frantically, in the car park.
The Churcyard held plenty of Chiffs and a few Blackcaps as well as dunnocks displaying madly.

Little in the harbour apart from Shelducks and calling Greenshanks and a pair of Teal on a mudbank...
The Severals were pretty devoid of birds apart from a few Cettis Warblers shouting their heads off.As I made my way back across the fields to the farmstead a Whitethroat showed itself beautifully ensbling some decent photo opportunities..

..and a Great Spotted Woodpecker was looking for grubs in an old branch high up in a tree.
As I returned I was surprised to see a Clouded Yellow...surely, early for this species?
...a very pleasant couple of hours!
