Back at Pagham




After an interval of a few weeks on the blog, (due to a number of reasons), its back to my local patch watching.
It seemed quite quiet along the North Wall this morning save for a pair of Yellowhammers...


...and the usual contenders.


A decent flock of Lapwings
and a few Curlews




...plus a fly-by Kingfisher by the sluice gate(too quick for photo!)

Back on Pagham Spit there was a little more of interest....
 A pair of Stonechats...

 A flighty Chiffchaff in the apple tree


A distant Meadow Pipit (one of two)



Oystercatcher along the shoreline


A few Brent Geese...no large flocks yet in the harbour
A pair of motley Teal (in eclipse plumage)




A few Little Grebe on the Little Lagoon




The ever present Turnstone








An over flying Cormorant
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

....and finally from last week




A Song Thrush...unusual on the beach,

AND BEST OF ALL.....
 A Black Redstart!!
