Spring has Sprung!!


What a morning....cold,  sunny and no wind...perfection.

A wander to see whats about....
One of several Mute Swans on the Lagoon
Grey Plover feeding in the harbour
One of the few remaining Goldeneyes still remaining in the harbour...most seem to have departed.

One of the ever present Turnstones in front of the Spit Hide
The Brent Geese are very restless and several parties have already departed on their long journey North.

 In the afternoon a visit to the  Chichester Pits was interesting.....
The Bean Goose is still present



...showing the characteristic bill marking...orange with black tip



Greylag goose for comparison.
As always...plenty of Tufteds
and Great Crested Grebes
