The wrong sort of Kites!

At 8.00 this morning I was surprised to note a car parked at the entrance to the now closed Pagham Spit car park in front of the no parking sign.

It wasn't long that the reason was clear as 2 Kite surfers were plying up and down in front of the Church Norton shingle spit and passing just in front of where the Little Terns will hopefully be breeding soon! They were probably visitors who had no idea of the disturbance they may cause but birds were few and far between this morning.

It didn't help that a man with 2 dogs was wandering around the gorse bushes within the fenced area...so no Linnets this morning...or much else for that matter.

I returned......downheatred.
