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.

Birding on the spit this morning was interrupted by police and bomb disposal making safe an ordnance found on the beach.

In the entrance a group of 5 Red Breasted Mergansers were accompanied by a single female Goldeneye.

Here are just 4 of them with the Goldeneye. They were restless and soon made off seaward returning later to the harbour 




There were a pair of Stonechats alongside the Little Lagoon...
A big flock of Black Tailed Godwits...
...and Lapwings seen looking towards the North Wall.

Apart from this, a party of 5 Skylarks and 4 Meadow Pipits. 
(Apologies for the poor blogs of late...will try to improve)
