Marsh Harriers!

A bright morning with a fresh wind on the North Wall this morning. 

The immediate highlight was a Marsh Harrier flying to and fro beyond the Breech Pool (with Chichester cathedral as a backdrop).

It was soon joined by another playing chase over the reed bed.

 Great to see!

A splendid Grey Wagtail was feeding in the horse paddock...a fantastic splash of colour!

The fields in front of Halsey Farm were awash with water and had attracted about 5/600 Black Tailed Godwits and probably a 1000+ Lapwings.
 

 A huge flock of Brent Geese moved from field to field ....2000+

 Later at the harbour entrance a couple of Red Breasted Mergansers swimming in the choppy current.
Yesterday there were two Goldeneye but no sign today.
