As I completed my BBS on Pagham Spit I noted at least 12 pairs of Linnets obviously prospecting for suitable nest sites, House Sparrows collecting nesting material and a pair of Ringed Plovers on the 'alert'. 2 Wheatears 1 Chiffchaff and several Sandwich Terns were the only recently arrived migrants.
Later in the morning a visit to theNorth Wall produced a pair of Ravens
 |
| Huge size , wedge shaped tail |
 |
| ...and the 'cronking' call |
 |
| ....left no doubt as to identity! |
A Reed Bunting was doing his best to attract a female
...and the regular Little Egret was feeding by the sluice gate
...but maybe it was a Robin stole the show this morning!
 |
| Thinking about a 'dip'...shall I, shant I? |
 |
| Yep...straight in, upside down! |
 |
| ....sideways! |
 |
| ...thats better. |
