Another day at Pagham.



Once the drizzle had ceased I made my way to the Spit hide and on the way noted three Goldeneye on the Little Lagoon (2m,1f)... here's a male


As I looked out from the hide a Great Northern Diver came in with the tide...a nice surprise... terrible photos but the light was bad and I had the wrong lens!








A nice bird to have on your  'patch'.

Also present...
Grey Heron
Great Crested Grebe

Cormorant

Returning later to try to get better shots of the GND resulted in the bird being a long way off...but I was rewarded by a visit from a Kingfisher...

Kingfisher...what a cracking little bird!

In the afternoon quick check of the harbour resulted in an obliging Curlew..

...and another.
