Another glorious morning on Pagham Spit!

Not too many birds about but plenty of wild flowers...here's a taster!

As for birds, the Little Terns were busy feeding young on the opposite spit...at least 20 or so birds in the air.

   A Cuckoo was still present but proved elusive to photograph...a distant heavily cropped shot!

Linnets were few and far between and I only noted four  birds this morning.

 ...but the the Skylarks were in good voice..

Always good to hear...and see!

I guess the Hudsonian Curlew is still present as there were a group of twitchers on the Church Norton side...

The forecast is for a very hot few days! Summer is here!

During my evening walk  the Great Crested Grebe was sitting on its nest on the Lagoon...hopefully it will be successful. A Carrion Crow was watching close by.

Evening sunlight makes a real difference...just look at this Greenfinch on a telephonr wire....

Gold more than Green!

The Cuckoo is still lurking but I am still waiting to get a decent photo...it usually spots me before I spot it!

The very wary Cuckoo..it called three times.

Along the shore line the Ringed Plovers and their youngsters were feeding..another great subject in these lighting conditions.

Juvenile Ringed Plover

Ringed Plover (adult)

...another juvenile.

Another hot day tomorrow!
