Pagham Birder: The Blog
A regular account of the birds seen mainly on and around Pagham Spit, the Lagoon and the North Wall plus other birding exploits from time to time.
Any news of interest regarding the ongoing erosion problems on Pagham Beach will, from now on, be shown on my other blog together with general beach photos.. Click on the link... Pagham Beach Blog on this page.
Red Kite over Pagham Harbour.
At last....a superb morning, bright and sunny albeit with a chill west wind.
Little about on the Spit save a few Linnets and a Chiffchaff but suddenly my attention was drawn to a raptor approaching from the south and heading for the middle of the harbour. Very quickly a pair of Shelducks took exception and mobbed the bird mercilessly!
Quickly identified as a Red Kite with the diagnostic forked tail showing well even at a distance...a few quick shots and it was soon gone heading northwards...a fantastic bird!
That made my morning!
