Along the North Wall this morning I at last managed a distant, but heavily cropped shot, of a Cettis Warbler...they are so elusive...often heard but seldom seen.....
Not much else about but a few singing Reed Buntings....this one was quite well hidden in a bush
There was a singing Chiffchaff but no other migrants. In the Breach Pool 100 BlackTailed Godwits, 2 Snipe, plenty of Teal and a few Wigeon.
From Pagham Spit groups of Brent were noted heading out of the harbour rising high and then when about a half a mile out they would turn East before descending to sea level and to form a long string....obviously in 'migration' mode homewards.

Interestingly at 3.15 there seemed to be a bit of a mass exodus with big groups totalling probably 800 birds heading out to sea before turning east and were last seen through binoculars heading towards Shoreham.
You did well to capture the elusive songster.
