Goodbye December 2022

 Bad weather and domesticities prevented as many opportunities as I would have liked for birding on my local patch in December.

However I was able to capture a few of the regulars and of course the regular 'long stay' Snow Bunting which remained reasonably faithful to the same spot along the ironwork of the harbour entrance on  most days, although there were times when it moved a little way along towards the base of the old hide.

 I hope these photos give just a flavour of some of birds seen  on and around Pagham Spit at this time of year.

Hopefully the weather will improve soon and I will have a little more free time to see the wide variety of species usually seen quite easily  here on the spit. Not today though.......the rain is pouring down and the wind is blowing a hooley!

 Happy New Year to any Blogger watchers!!
