However the weather was far from ideal apart from one day, but even then birds were scarce
Regular visits to Minsmere proved slightly disappointing but the highlight was a Citrine Wagtail but even this bird was very distant although showing regularly from West Hide...here are a couple of highly cropped shots....

| First winter male Citrine Wagtail |
Most of the regular species were noted with brief encounters with Bittern (but no photo!) and Marsh Harrier. There were plenty of Hobbys but again, just out of range!

| Marsh Harrier |
All the waders usually quite close to the East Scrape hide were too distant for any decent photos on this occasion . A few teal were feeding within range but that was about it!

| Teal |
A Stonechat was present in the dunes...
On our last but one day there had been a good fall of warblers overnight in the bushes outside our s/c bungalow but nothing unusual.
 |
| Lesser Whitethroat |
 |
| Chiffchaff |
 |
| Blackcap |
 |
| A Lizard enjoying the sunshine |
 |
| Red Admiral feeding on Blackberries. |
So that was it....back to Pagham now with hopefully, some
exciting Autumn migrants!!
