Pagham Birder

After a  miserably damp morning the weather improved and I walked to the North Wall and Halsey Farm but failed to find the Red Backed Shrike....presumably departed for warmer climes. A couple of birders had heard and seen a pair of Bearded Tits but again I had no success but several ' Squealy Pigs' were calling from the reed bed.
In the harbour the usual waders with about 160 Golden Plover feeding alongside the Lapwings.

      
Brent Geese continue to arrive in small parties

 as they have done during the past week or so; there was a report of about 1500 on a nearby field.
