I met a local birder this morning and he asked what had happened to all the birds...he described Pagham harbour as desolate! Compared to the last 6 months, it is! Where have all the birds gone? We spent a little time searching but could only come up with 2 Wheatears, 5 Brent Geese a few Godwits and a single Whimbrel....well that was nice anyway!
It can only get better but for friends visiting last Saturday it WAS a bit disappointing after all the many birding highlights of the past few months!!
Hopefully, it can only get better...watch this space. Pagham always surprises and who knows whats just around the corner!!

Spring has returned !

Just 10 Brent Geese seem to be in the harbour but few winter duck are still around and it really feels as if winter is now finally a thing of the past...lets hope so !

My first Swallow!!

It is a wonderful morning, warm sunshine from an unbroken blue sky, quite still and the sound of the skylarks singing against a quiet lapping of the ripples of the rising tide is simply magical. What am I doing writing a blog...I must get out...NOW!

Suffolk Sensation !

Have just arrived back from Suffolk having had a really good time in Minsmere and North Warren R.S.P.B. reserves. The highlight was a White Spotted Bluethroat at Minsmere which showed up on the main path...a fantastic bird! Several Bitterns were 'booming', Bearded Tits 'pinging' and at one time 4 Marsh Harriers were quartering the reed beds. On our last morning we found 4 Black Redstarts along the beach at North Warren.
Suffolk never fails to please and we always look forward to returning...here's to the next time!!
