<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>We found the track that leads upto the sewage works but the off road track that leads upto the back of the sewage works was pretty in-passable in the hire car we had, instead we drove upto the top end of the road where the entrace gates were and kind of jammed into a large grassy area (presumably someones front garge) with water sprinlers and surrounding trees and scrub. Gary soon picked out a flycatcher and upon studying we soon realised it was a smart male Semi-collared Flycatcher posing nicely on the surrounding fencing and the sprinklers allowing photo's to be obtained. We also picked out at least 2 male Collared Flycatcher and a nice female Collared was found too. We were surprised to find 2 male 'eastern' Common Redstarts here and the trees held good numbers of Wood Warbler, Eastern Bonelli's Warbler, whilst the scrub produced a very skulky male Subalpine Warbler, a Tree Pipit also dropped in.</b></span><br />
<b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Other birders reported a Long-legged Buzzard but unfortuantley we failed to connect with this bird here. A good area to check out especially when Greco starts to get busy with tourists! and great photo opportunities as with patience the birds pop up on the exposed branches and fences</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Water levels were great here due to Cyprus having one of their wettest winters for a good few years, by the shooting range, this area was great for scanning the lakes and checking through Wagtails aswell as waders, we spent a few hours here as there was many hiding places the birds could get to.

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Waders included Ruff, Little-ringed Plover, Marsh Sandpiper with the odd Green and Wood Sandpiper's. A distant Temminck's Stint was a nice find by a fellow group of birders that had joined us with scopes. Garganey and at least 4 Ferruginous Ducks were un the deeper water, a flock of 14 Night Herons flew around the lake, presumably migrating, smaller birds were represented with various races of Yellow Wagtails and searching through these revealed a smart male Citrine Wagtail and a Water Pipit.

Several Nightingales were seen and heard croaking away and one individual seen late in the evening had us going for Thrush Nightingale but upon checking photos later it just seemed to be a Common one. Hoopoes were seen around both locations too</span></div>

The sea caves were also good for Alpine Swifts with a count of 7 birds one afternoon, enjoyed whilst sampling nice ice cream and freshly squeezed orange juice from the convenient ice cream van at the caves! A top place and a large area to search for birds but does get very busy with tourist so recommend a early morning/late afternoon visit</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">APRIL 3rd - 6th 2019</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<u><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>INTRODUCTION</i></span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u><br /></u>Nick Bond and Gary Thoburn</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to birding and when Cyprus gets mentioned, it is normally met with discussions on the illegal hunting and trapping to which unfortunatley it is now famous for, but for me potentially this island and with increased coverage, offers birders from far and wide a fantastic destination to observe spring migration in its finest with birds and colour aplenty, its a great place for bird photography too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Flying from Bristol, myself and Gary Thoburn took the near 5 hour flight to Larnaca and was based in the tourist town of Protaras which is on the south-east peninsula, ideally located for migration hot-spot Cape Greco or <i>Kavo Greko</i> as its known locally, Paralimni Lakes and Ayia Napa sewage works and the salt pans of Larnaca less than a hours drive away. I was here on a working holiday in 2005 and 2006 and Cape Greco was one area I watched regulary. Below is a report of the sites and the birds we encountered there with many photos included taken using my Canon bridge camera. The winter was one of the wettest Cyprus has had for many years which meant the lakes and pools were full, as some are normally already dry at this stage of the year</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The weather was largely warm with the odd overcast day, mosquitos were pretty abundant around the wetland areas.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We bumped into several small groups of birders at Greco and Paralimni which was good for sharing information, other sightings were available through various Twitter feeds <b>#cyprusbirds</b> and daily sightings reported on the <i>Birdlife Cyprus</i> email group</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For some excellent photos from this trip please see Gary Thoburns website here </span><a href="https://garytsphotos.zenfolio.com/p169422004">https://garytsphotos.zenfolio.com/p169422004</a><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We spent a lot of time birding the area upon arrival and pretty much spent the whole afternoon there and also on the afternoon of my last day aswell as only a 10 minute drive from the airport, the whole area can be birded from the car and contains a mixture of scrub along with the salt lakes and pools, the beach is also worth checking out.</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good numbers of <b>Greater Flamingo's</b> were on the pools, <b>Black-winged Stilts</b> were around in good number, whilst <b>Black Francolin</b> and <b>Crested Larks</b> were around and pretty vocal in the surrounding fields. This area is also good for the <b>Spur-winged Plover</b> 2 <b>Little Terns</b> were roosting on a buoy on one of the lakes, a single <b>Gull-billed Tern</b> was fishing offshore. The edges of the pools attracted <b>Yellow Wagtails</b> of various races including some fine <b>Black-headed Wagtails</b> and at least 3 <b>Citrine Wagtails</b> were seen there on my last day. A male <b>Pallid Harrier</b> was seen patrolling the area and a single <b>Masked Shrike</b> was found with several <b>Hoopoes</b> adding a splash of colour. Spiro's Pool hosted several waders including a splendid <b>Greater Sandplover</b>, with a supporting cast of c80 <b>Little Stint</b>, <b>Kentish Plovers</b>, <b>Ruffs</b> and a few <b>Dunlin</b></span><br />

I Guess Kjell Mork Soot already sent you the ringing details. It was ringed by us at Revtangen Bird Observatory on August 28th, and we are very happy for this recovery! It is the first recovery of a Norwegian-ringed Redshank in the Canary Islands. Revtangen BO is one of the oldest in Europe, established in 1937 and run by Museum Stavanger.</span></span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Introduction -</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A weeks family holiday combining some birding where possible. 1 day was spent out with Derek Bradbury of Fuerteventura Birdwatch tours http://www.fuerteventurabirdwatch.co.uk/ and an excursion to Oasis Park were very productive. Our accommodation was in Caleta de Fuste which is approx 10 minutes drive from the airport. Ideally located for most sites needed to visit, especially for the islands specialities. Caleta itself has many hotels and appartments leading down to the beach with some lush gardens and migrant traps for birds whilst the man made beach in the harbour is ideal for roosting gulls/terns and waders. There is also a golf course nearby which also looks worthwhile exploring but unfortunatley I did not get time to do this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Day out with Derek Bradbury of Fuerteventura Birdwatch - 12th October 2017</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had booked the services of Derek Bradbury to take me out for the day with many of the islands speciality species our target birds. I had seen the Houbara Bustards in Lanzarote on a recent holiday along with Barbary Falcon, Partridge and Trumpeter Finch. My primary targets today were to see the Fuerteventura Stonechat, Cream-coloured Courser and Black-bellied Sandgrouse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Derek met me at my appartment as agreed at 8am and we headed for the Tindaya plains, Derek was very easy to get on with and had taken on board the target species for the day and planned as such to visit suitable sites. Derek was honest and mentioned that the chances of Cream-coloured Courser was slim as he had heard of only 1 reported sighting recently...but did say they should start returning to the plains soon...fingers crossed!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Reaching the plains, the conditions were not ideal as the wind had really picked up here and searching for any Sandgrouse, Stone Curlew's and any passerines proved difficult, we searched various sites with little reward, there was some hunting witnessed throughout the day as locals headed out on their bank holiday, mainly hunting rabbit. We did find some sandgrouse footprints and a Houbaras dropping so the birds are around!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Things picked up when I spotted some Barbary Partridge running across a nearby track, heading away from us the whole time but good views were gained from the car. At least 10 birds present but difficult to determine exact number as they scrambled across the rocky terrain before disappearing over a small stone wall. Then as we approached a crossroad a sandy bird ran across the road and Derek announced 'Courser' and was soon clapping my eyes on my first sighting of Cream-coloured Courser, a bird I had always wanted to see and was great to see one in it's natural environment, I watched the bird almost road-running, occassionally standing still before moving further away from us. Derek tried to position the car in the hope I could grab some photos but I was quite happy watching the bird, before another flashed past and I proclaimed there was 2 birds! The camera then came out and some record shots were made, attentions then turned to a flock of small flock of birds mobile in the scrub and land behind and Lesser Short-toed Lark was added to the day list. I had previously seen this species in Donana in Spain but many years ago so was good to see again. The 2 Coursers gradually moved away from us and we drove on to a nearby barranco where we stopped for lunch.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The barranco we stopped at for lunch contained 2 small pools which seemed popular with dragonflies which seemed very active in the sheltered spots but the persistent wind made searching for passerines difficult. Birds were around though and 2 Ruddy Shelducks flew up and away from the first pool and then we got brief views of a Barbary Falcon as it shot overhead. Berthelot's Pipits liked it here and offered close views and Linnets were added to the day list. A couple of hunters arrived in the are and a few shots were heard. A couple of Ravens flew over and a Spectacled Warbler sent out its call from nearby scrub giving brief views and remained elusive. Up on the rock face I noticed a small bird flycatching and soon realised I was watching my first ever Fuerteventura Stonechat and got Derek onto the bird which performed well allowing a few record shots. We moved onto another barranco which had some surface water creating some shallow pools. This area was hugely productive with extensive scrub and greenery nearby and the wind now dropping produced sightings firstly of a male Spectacled Warbler. Here also held a small family of Fuerteventura Stonechats which were conveniently perched up for long periods at least 4 birds in the area including a smart male bird. At least 2 Ringed Plovers were feeding on the waters edge and 3 Trumpeter Finch were buzzing around although a bit too distant for any pics as they came down to drink.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then moved onto a feeding station for Egyptian Vultures. This was basically a fenced off area with goat carcasses and pigs heads scattered on the ground so all looked pretty grim but my did it attract the birds...well everything except Egyptian Vultures it seems. Ravens were around in good number and Hoopoes were everywhere we looked. I have never seen such numbers in one place! I then spotted a couple of distant pale bird scampering across the ground...surely they cannot be coursers? Fortunatley Derek had a scope and my initial hunch was right as 5 Cream-coloured Coursers brought the days total to 7 birds....not bad considering there was only 1 confirmed sighting recently! Good scope views were had as we watched them in the haze. 2 Northern Wheatear were also here adding to the daylist. No sign of any vultures unfortunatley so we departed through La Olivia and onto Los Molinos reservoir</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As we entered the track which leads upto Los Molinos there was a goat farm which held several Berthelots Pipits and White Wagtails. Onto the reservoir itself, the echoing calls of the many Ruddy Shelduck bounce around the surrounding rock faces. There was probably a good 200 Ruddy Duck here, difficult to get a accurate account as they were constantly moving around as were the Coot and Yellow-legged Gulls on the water. Around the edges, waders were present with 2 Black-winged Stilts and 2 Greenshank were present and there was good number of Grey Heron and Little Egret. 5 Black-bellied Sandgrouse flew over and kept going and unfortunatley did not land</span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Checking through the gull roosts at Goring always throws something interesting up from time-to-time. Checking the gulls today, I noticed 2 of the young Greater-black-backed Gulls were colour ringed. For a change, they were close to the car, 1 had a black ring with white numbering on its right leg but unfortunatley I was unable to get the details before it departed, but did manage to get details of this individual and checking the Euring website was fortunate enough to receive the following details from Bruce Taggart from the Looe Gull Study group......</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Thanks for this sighting. Not a great life history I'm afraid - yours is the first sighting of this bird. However it is a good record as not many of our birds head NE, most have a southerly bearing. Interestingly we've never had any records from the English east coast.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The project on Looe Island has colour ringed over 500 GBB Gull chicks since 2010. Last year for the first time we had ringed birds returning to the island to breed.</i></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1488388192089_2175">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The project has shown that there is frequent cross Channel movements with numerous sightings in France and the Channel Islands, and birds returning to the south west. I suspect they find a working trawler and follow it back to port. The furthest movement has been a bird that flew twice to NW Spain, returning to Looe in the interim.</i></span></div>

This has proved fairly fruitful, with Iceland and Glaucous Gull's being found here in previous winters. Some crisp winter morning's allowed for some of Goring's resident birds to be photographed</b></span><br />

Juvenille's are usually a drab affair, but this bird was already moulting and if it hangs around, who knows, we may well see it as a full adult and a completly different looking bird. The locals are feeding the bird well and were very friendly and inquisitive about the birds presence, hopefully it will hang around....</span></b><br />

It mainly fed along the coastal path, but I also observed this individual feeding in the ploughed field opposite the beach with Skylarks, flying back to the coastal path calling as it flew</span></b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another weekend visit to Portland, staying for the night a Portland Bird Observatory and catching up with Gary and Glen and all the Portland regulars. Leaving early, I stopped off at Acres Down in the New Forest for a stroll. As soon as I parked up and opened the car door, the distant sound of a calling Cuckoo was a first for the year for me. Pretty surreal as temperatures were barely touching 4 degrees! Plenty of birdsong and at times difficult to pick out the different species as each tried to over-power the other in the continuous dawn chorus. Blackcap, Willow Warbler and Chiff chaff were abundant, but the highlight for me was a singing male Common Redstart, on territory, there song is one of my favourite and very distinctive. A couple of Crossbills flew over as did some very vocal Siskins. No sight or sound of any Wood Warbler so was time to head to the car to continue my journey to Potland and warm up.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wheatear - always a delight and in good numbers too</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Arriving in Weymouth and conditions good, I checked out Lodmoor, parking at the north end and did the circuit dodging dog walkers, cyclists and joggers. There was lots of hirundines hawking the reserve, mainly Sand Martin's but Swallow, House Martin and my first 6 Swifts of the year were seen higher up. Cetti's Warblers were everywhere and another yeartick in the form of a Lesser Whitethroat was rattling away and seen briefly. Was surprised to find no waders on the reserve and little else of note was seen but heard the 'pinging' of Bearded Tits as I walked through the reedbed along with many Reed Warblers. Only 2 Sedge Warbler were seen and heard </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As I drove towards Portland, Martin Cade had tweeted that a pod of bottle-nosed dolphins were heading along the east cliffs off the bill. I decided to check off the car-park off Cheyne and within minutes I was watching the dolphins as the headed north, counting at least 8 and they were constantly being mobbed by gulls. I headed round to the prison as would gain closer views, but despite waiting here, they failed to arrive. Whilst here, the local gull and crow population were going mental, a Common Buzzard floated over-head and not the hoped for Osprey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Glen had messaged to say they were watching a Ring Ouzel in the crown estate field, so headed down to the obs and struggled to park for a while as car park full as where the road-side verges. There was an army of birders lined up in the top fields and the thoughts of a rarity that had just been found flashed through my mind, but was a false alarm as everyone was watching a Redstart! A quick trudge around the top fields produced some good birds, Redstart, Short-eared Owl, Whitethroat, Wheatears dotted around. The Short-eared Owl was just viewable sat tight in a tree near the barns. There has also been new stables constructed up here now and appears to be some work/developing going on in the barn area, hopefully not too much! In Culverwell, I managed to pick out a Reed Warbler that showed well, returning to the obs, Pete proclaimed it was a first for the year for them so was pleased with that! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">By now Gary had arrived and after a quick catch up and seeing a male Redstart in the hand, we headed to Cheyne to look for Wall Lizards, but no luck here today. A Wheatear, Blackcap and Peregrine made the stop worthwhile though. Onto Ferrybridge to see what was on offer there. Little Terns showed well with at least 4 birds present, at times fishing quite close, but the light was all wrong for any decent pics. Plenty of Sandwich Terns also fishing on the Fleet. Back at the obs, the Dolphins were putting on another show, viewed from the garden. We decided to head out for the evening early to catch the FA cup semi-final between Man Utd and Everton also meeting up with Joe Stockwell, followed by a Chinese takeaway and more beers back at the obs to conclude the day! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a great nights sleep in the cottage at the obs, it was time to go again and hopefully find and see some decent spring migrants. The wind was all wrong for a sea-watch, but a single Bonxie and Arctic Skua were a nice bonus. A Firecrest showed briefly in the front garden along with a single Goldcrest. The wind was stronger than yesterday and was pretty damn cold making searching for any grounded migrants difficult. We checked out the top fields again, there was an obvious fall of Wheatears and was nice to find a male Yellow Wagtail that showed nicely before moving off north, another bird was also seen but again, did not hang around. The Short-eared Owl was sitting out in the open giving stunning, but a little distant views near the barns. A female Redstart was also a nice find as was a female Pied Flycatcher in Culverwell which Gary did well to pick out. Chilling at the obs, I caught a couple of snippets of a reeling Grasshopper Warbler in scrub next to the obs. It literally reeled for no more than 5 seconds at a time and I failed to get anyone else onto it. I thought I was going mad and starting to doubt myself, but Pete confirmed there was one reeling at the bottom of the garden and Julian had heard one earlier too. Later on, I heard it reeling again this time more distantly but enough to clinch it....no need to get the ears checked just yet :-). Time to head home, but got distracted by some good birding at Reap Lane and Barleycrates where giving the barns a good grilling, we found a couple of smart Whinchat, along with 2 Common Redstart. Blackcap and Wheatear were present in good numbers and a couple of Whitethroat passed through. A smart male Sparrowhawk was perched up and seeing what tired migrants he could pick up for tea!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A great weekend and good company, many firsts for the year happily ticked off, just love birding on Portland this time of year, just never know what you may see , on land and sea.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to Martin, Pete and all at the Obs for another great stay!</span></div>

<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>28th March 2016 - *Sussex Mega* - American Wigeon at Pulborough</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: white;">Gordon Beck had found a drake <strong>American Wigeon</strong> at Pulborough Brooks on the evening of the 27th and news filtered out via the SOS website and the Sussex Birders Facebook page. Forecast for the morning was bleak as storm Katie rattled in over night, I was up before light but was left questioning my sanity as I looked outside and saw the storm ripping through everything in site. A tweet from Ian Barnard had me moving though as the positive news was put out early that the bird was still present. There has only been one previous accepted record for Sussex so heading out into the storm was a no brainer and was soon on-site having passed several fallen trees en-route. The hide was fairly empty and good scope views were obtained as the bird sheltered on the far bank with 3 other Wigeon, occasionally swimming, feeding before going to sleep on the bank. There was at least 30 Sand Martins on the north brooks along with 2 Swallows, 2 Pintail and a Firecrest was found along the zig zag track which showed well. Good to see so many local birders out in force, it has been a while!</span> </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";">26th March 2016 - Patch Gold!</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: white;">An hours sea-watch off Worthing was fairly productive with my first Sandwich Terns of the year seen here, 3 in total and all going through singly, other than that there were small groups of Common Scoter and Brent Geese going through. 2 Red-throated Diver and 2 Fulmar all east were also noted. I decided to head to the patch to check for any passerines, looking for Wheatears on the beach here a male Peregrine headed low overhead. No luck with Wheatears, I tried the compound area and soon heard the call of a parakeet, the bird called again and soon picked it up high over the houses above Sea Lane, it circled around a couple of times before heading overhead and headed off high eastwards! A patch tick in the bag, ok, not a migrant but these are pretty scarce on the south coast. I then picked up another familiar call and was soon watching another patch tick in the form of the delightful Firecrest that popped out in the nearest bramble patch, there was at least 2 birds seen with maybe a third. I was amazed to find these birds on the coat in spring, but soon realised via other news feeds, there is an obvious influx of this species along the coast! Coming away from the sea-watch early, I missed a Arctic Skua, Bonxie and a Balearic Shearwater which again is birding for you, you cannot see everything!</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"><strong>25th March 2016 - Arundel WWT and Heyshott common</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "arial";">Managed to see the Great-grey Shrike that Chris Janman had reported on the SOS site, gaining good scope views when the bird eventually gave itself up. 2 Red Kites, Marsh Tit, Stonechat and Siskin were also on site. At Arundel WWT provided a couple of singing Chiffchaffs, Water Vole, Grey Wagtail, Brimstone and Peacock butterfly whilst a Peregrine was seen at the hanger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>Local West Sussex birds -</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few local year-ticks been added recently with a trip to the north end of Pagham Harbour and church Norton, taking in the ferry pool, aswell as a quick morning visit to Climping. Highlights included a Spotted Redshank in White's Creek, 2 Avocet at breech pool and 4 on the ferry pool which also hosted my first Green Sandpiper of the year. A Whimbrel was also in the harbour from Church Norton. A visit to a undisclosed heathland found a singing male Dartford Warbler, the same site saw many Siskin's flying about. I connected with one of the Siberian Chiffchaff's at Coldwaltham before another failed attempt for Lesser Spotted Woodpecker's ended the day on a low. Brimstone, Comma, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock were all on the wing at various locations. 2 Grey Patridges were in the horse paddock at Climping whilst Red-legged Partridge were seen at ferry pool and the entrance road to Church Norton</span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Had a free morning so headed inland again and spent a couple of hours to no avail in looking for a Lesser-spotted Woodpecker, perfect conditions this morning with morning sunshine and a light breeze. The place was alive though with small woodland birds including Marsh Tit and good numbers of Treecreepers were seen (see below)</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sure I will be back to try and see this elusive Woodpecker in their regular/traditional haunts, as I said earlier in the year, determined to get out more this year and doing so ! Wish I had the day to explore these parts and light was perfect for photography. Great to bump into George Kinnard and Luke Dray there too...wonder if they found any??</span><br />

<strong><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">Up early and headed inland for a spot of local birding in the hope of finding Lesser-spotted Woodpecker and to see what else I could find. Started off at Waltham brooks, a very cold morning I arrived a little too late to catch any owls flying around but a nice fly-over Red Kite drifted over and small flocks of Fieldfare were buzzing around by the water treatments. Here I was hoping to find the 'tristis' type Chiffchaff which has been over-wintering here, I managed to see a Chiffchaff but this was no Siberian type and despite spending some time here I found to locate the 'tristis'. A look at a inland site for Lesser-spotted Woodpecker proved negative, good to bump into Gordon Beck and Jake Gearty there who both had the same idea. Myself and Gordon came away empty handed, but we put in some time to find this elusive bird. Jake arrived after us and connected with one on the other side of the wood from where I was searching, that's birding for ya! </span><br />

<strong><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: "arial";"><span style="background-color: black;">Had the opportunity to return to my old haunts in South west London today, with my daughter Robyn in tow, took full advantage of exploring the WWT at Barnes which is mostly known now as WWT London. Ring-necked Parakeets were around the entrance on the lakeside trees and Robyn enjoyed feeding crisps to 2 Robins by the main entrance, 1 of these was a strange looking bird with no tail and black and white striped belly (will upload a pic soon) and perhaps this Robin is a fan of the nearby Fulham football club!. As with last weekend, the wind was hampering any birding and just the usual species were observed with no sign of any Bitterns which would have made the visit worthwhile. Plenty of new enclosures and collections to keep Robyn occupied though but the Otters were asleep and not on display today! It was only a brief visit so not a huge amount of species seen, a pair of Pintail and 11 Fieldfare over was probably the highlights but good to re-visit a site that I have not been to now for over 8 years and a first visit for Robyn. We spent the rest of the day at the Natural History Museum where the extinct Great Auk and Dodo looked mighty impressive!</span> </span><br />

<strong><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">Spent the weekend at Portland Bird Observatory for what was a bit of a Widercoped re-union and the first time in 3 years that we have all got together ! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">I picked Seth up in Southampton and headed to Blashford Lakes for first light, disappointed to find gates locked and all hides locked so restricting our birding somewhat. We spent the best part of an hour checking out the woodland and the main lake from the viewing mound behind the Tern hide. A large flock of Siskin above the woodland hide created a explosion of noise as they called and sang, Coal Tits were also vocal and typical woodland species were picked up here. A couple of Bullfinch were seen scampering away as we walked the car park of the Tern hide. From the viewing mound a distant Grebe was most probably the Slavonian Grebe that has been reported from here but was too far off to clinch for certain. 2 Egyptian Geese were on one of the scrapes but bemoaning the lack of access we got back in the car and headed for Portland, our destination for the weekend. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">Radipole was our next stop and a nice flock of 13 Mediterranean Gulls were in the car park and a quick trek around the reserve produced 2 Marsh Harrier's, Bearded Tit, Water Rail and many Cetti's Warbler's. The famous Hooded Merganser is still knocking around since turning up 8 years ago and was showing well by the visitor centre. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">Next destination was Portland harbour and we viewed from Sandsfoot Castle picking up 7 Black-necked Grebes, several Great-crested Grebes and good numbers of Red-breasted Mergansers. The wind started to pick up by mid-morning and we took to the shelter of Osprey quay to continue a scan from a different angle but produced very little. By now the others started arriving with Glen and Gary freshly in. Nothing of note was seen from Portland Castle and birding conditions worsened and was very windy at the bill as we dropped our luggage off at our digs for the night at Portland Bird Obs. We decided to head inland as felt it might be more sheltered there and had a good couple hours at Lodmoor with Gary finding a Spoonbill and a different Marsh Harrier flew over the reserve and promptly disappeared. No real numbers of waders were to be seen but a Kingfisher and a large flock of Lapwing kept interest going. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">Another scan in the harbour produced a Slavonian Grebe and a Great-northern Diver but no sign of the flock of Black-necked Grebes we had seen from here earlier in the day. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial";">We retired to the obs prepared for the night ahead, a table for 8 has been booked for the 8 Kings....to be continued......</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">On the Sunday, several were struggling from the night before and the weather was struggling too, strong winds made birding around the bill very difficult where some time was spent scanning the sea, highlights being a Bonxie moving through in the races and Fulmar, Guillemot and razorbill all added to the trip list. Some respite mid-morning allowed for a Firecrest to be heard in the garden and 2 Chiff-chaff's seen. We spent some time searching Chesil Cove and Portland harbour but little was to be found, a single Black-necked Grebe from Portland Harbour was little compensation for the effort put in, weather really did not help. It was a little more sheltered at Radipole where some time was spent photographing some of the Med Gulls that were present in the car park here until chased of by a kid on a scooter! The Hooded Merganser was showing well again in it's regular spot, a Water Rail showed pretty well by the visitor centre and a Marsh Harrier was seen again at the north end of the reserve. By now, majority of the group had split up and dispersed for their journeys home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Was a good weekend and catch up with the old widerscope crew...the facebook page is still going strong as the website has died, but is still worth a read if you haven't done so already! Thanks to Martin and the Portland crew at the Bird Observatory for putting up with us all for the weekend, hopefully back in April! </span></div>

Being half-term and a sunny winters day, the reserve was heaving with people so made a sharp exit. Stopped by at Patching pond on the way home to find the Great-crested Grebe was present in it's full breeding plumage, hopefully they will breed here again this year. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A check at Goring at high-tide was worthwhile as remarkably the 1st winter Glaucous Gull had returned, I last saw it here on the 15th, so where it has been for the last 2 weeks is anyones guess. Had great flight views as it passed me on the beach and ended up settled on the fields again, fantastic to see it back and glad some local birders connected after putting the news out</span><br />

I managed to find them....eventually 8 birds all adults, after scanning various vantage points, they were below Amberley village itself by the castle. I viewed these from the Sportsman pub in the village itself and they were well left from here. I would think that if you were to park in the village and walk out onto the brooks you will get closer views. All adults, numbers are really down in the valley this winter probably due to the milder temperatures. There has been no sign neither this winter of the regular Whooper Swans that normally reside Chichester GP's and Barnham Brooks each winter. Loads of wildfowl out on the brooks and a single Peregrine perched in a large Oak tree. At Goring, more birds on the fields again today, vast numbers of Dunlin and Common Gull and the odd Med Gull, worth checking out if you are passing </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">A Great-grey Shrike was seen again today, distantly from Hales viewpoint, Spoonbill and Black Brant in Pagham Harbour, 2 Purple Sandpipers at Shoreham. Short-eared Owls are still around and the 1st winter Little Gull is hanging on at Climping</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A high-tide sea-watch was quite productive today, probably been the busiest I have seen so far this winter, good numbers of Red-breasted Mergansers and Great-crested Grebes were offshore, Red-throated Divers were moving east with 5 logged and a single Black-throated Diver which I first picked out on the sea fairly close in but soon took off and flew east. 2 Brent Geese east and 8 Common Scoter west, where were all these birds on a flat calm sea yesterday?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At Goring, again less gulls than recently but 263 Dunlin, 46 Ringed Plover, 10 Grey Plover and 3 Turnstone made up the wader roost, no Sanderling on here for a few days now</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not a lot seen locally as sorting the car out became a priority! Goring has held the odd Med Gull but on the whole a lot quieter there the last few days, pretty birdless on the sea with the odd Great-crested Grebe seen offshore. The cold snap and colder weather may move some birds around, the Glaucous was last seen on Friday as far as I am aware. </span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sussex sightings elsewhere : The drake Goosander was back on Widewater and a Black Brant was at Pagham as were 2 Spoonbill. Spoonbill were also reported at Medmerry and Thorney Island. The Great-grey Shrike was seen again at Ashdown Forest and a Little Auk that was first seen in Brighton Marina at the weekend unfortunately died. 8 Bewick Swans are now at Ambereley and White-fronted Goose numbers are building at Pett.</span> </div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Decided to head out first light and visit various sites across West Sussex, starting at the Black Rabbit at Arundel. I soon spotted a owl hunting across the fields and in the increasing light realised it was a Short-eared Owl...good start as a Tawny Owl called away in the background. Red Kite and Buzzard were soon seen heading up the valley and various other common and expected species were noted. No Barn Owl though, maybe the Short-eared Owl had taken it's hunting area? Firecrest were easily found at Swanbourne and 3 female Bullfinch were nice to see. Good number of Mandarin Duck were on the lake and Mill stream, Grey Wagtail, Nuthach and Treecreeper were by the bridge. Moved onto the Selsey peninsula and started at the ferry pool which held nothing special, whilst church Norton was quite productive at low tide, 2 Peregrine were in the harbour, a Bar-tailed Godwit was on the beach and a drake Goldeneye and 5 Slavonian Grebes were viewable distantly on the sea. The first time this year for me it has been possibly to scan a flat calm sea! A Eider was off Selsey bill and a couple of Great - northern Divers were close in but little moving offshore. Fishbourne creek was full of birds, no sign of any Spotted Redshanks, but a single Greenshank showed well. A single Chiffchaff and Stonechat were welcome additions as was a flock of 30+ Yellowhammer near the church. Spent a fair bit of time were 3 Hawfich were added with excellent scope views in the winter sun, Brambling and Marsh Tit were seen well and in good numbers. Was going to visit another site but on leaving West Dean I hit a nasty pot-hole and now face a nice repair bill for new wheel and tyre! Got to say love winter birding in West Sussex. 96 species seen throughout the day</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "arial";">The 1st winter Gluacous Gull was re-found back on the fields at Goring Gap this lunchtime, put news out and see others connected in the afternoon, wonder where it went to yesterday?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A couple of checks at Goring this morning failed to produce yesterday's Glaucous Gull but heard it had returned yesterday afternoon so may still be in the area. Wide water produced a showy Kingfisher and 3 Red-breasted Merganser's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sussex sightings elsewhere - only new bird reported was a Great grey Shrike at Pulborough Brooks. 16 Purple Sandpipers at Newhaven was an impressive count</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"><strong>12th January 2016 -</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">After doing a quick sea-watch which produced very little - I decided to check if anything interesting had turned up at Goring. A adult Med Gull was soon picked up and in the distance, a nicely sized gull roost was ready for me to search through....Bingo! A Glaucous Gull was straight out on the other side of the flood as I lifted my bins! Scrambled for the camera to fire off a few record shots and got the news out as appeared fairly settled. A few local birders started to arrive a although very pale, the bird had a dark iris making it an advanced 1st winter in my opinion(quite probably th ebird Bola had seen yesterday as reported below). Dave Potter managed to get some cracking photo's (check out his blog <a href="http://friendsofgroynenumber4.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/glaucous-gull-at-goring-gap.html">http://friendsofgroynenumber4.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/glaucous-gull-at-goring-gap.html</a>). Also recorded at least 7 Med Gulls in the area all adults except one 2nd winter which was my highest count of this species so far this year</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Elsewhere in Sussex - Glossy Ibis and 25 White-fronted Geese at Pett Levels, Blacke-necked Grebe on the Long Pool at Rye Harbour, Little Gulls were still around at Arlington reservoir and Climping holding good numbers, Short-eared Owls still at Pulborough and Shoreham airport. Great-northern Diver still at Weir wood with 3 still of Selsey Bill and the Great grey Shrike seen again at Ashdown Forest (various sources)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"><strong>11th January 2016 -</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">As mentioned/predicted yesterday, a 1st winter Glaucous Gull was seen heading east from the mouth of the River Arun by Bola Akinola today, still several Little Gulls in the area too. Hopefully the Glaucous will settle along the coast and will check the gull roost at Goring tomorrow. Hawfinch's have been seen again in Arundel Park today so could be worth a check if in the area. I saw some here in 2009. Going back to 2009, 7 years to this day we twitched a drake King Eider on the sea off Pett Levels ! Great day! 3 Spoonbills, presumably the Pagham birds from last week were at Medmerry today</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial";"><strong>10th January 2016 -</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Had a quick look around the Shoreham Harbour area today, upto 3 Purple Sandpipers on the jetty and a solitary Rock Pipit was found easily here, a good check through the gulls found nothing unusual. The drake Goosander was asleep on the western lagoon at Widewater hanging out with 2 Red-breasted Mergansers, not close enough for photo's whilst I was there. Heavy downpours and strong south westerlies made any birding difficult on the coast today...need a change in the weather!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sussex sightings elsewhere - Nothing new reported across the counties today. Glossy Ibis was still at Pett and a Little Gull at Rye Harbour. With several white-winged gulls around the country and colder north-westerlies later in the week, only a matter of time before a Glauc or Iceland arrives for the winter..will Littlehampton's Kumliens return?</span><br />

Great grey Shrike still at Ashdown Forest, Great-northern Diver at Weir Wood still. Little Gulls still widely reported, one off Rustington most likely one of the Littlehampton west beach birds. Black-throated Diver off Splash point (per SOS website). Purple Sandpipers remain at traditional sites at Newhaven east pier and off Shoreham Harbour</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The high tide roost this morning at goring held 3 adult Med Gulls, 2 Brent Geese attempted to land on the fields but gave up and headed back out to sea to continue their journey. The sheer numbers of Common Gulls arriving in the roost must of exceeded 500 birds, I gave up counting as they kept arriving!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sussex sightings elsewhere : The Glossy Ibis remains at Pett Levels and a Great White Egret reported at Rye Harbour. The Short eared Owls were still at Rodmell and Pulborough and Great Grey Shrikes at Ashdown Forest. A Jack Snipe was seen again at Newhaven and Siberian Chiffchaff still at Coldwaltham. Little Gulls still being reported from various sites. 2 Hawfinch's were also seen at Pulborough (per Jon Winder)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sussex sightings elsewhere : A Siberian Chiffchaff was a new find today at Steyning Sewage woks (access road flooded-willies advised per Jake Gearty) Great-northern Diver at Chichester marina and still at Weir wood. Chichester marina hosted a Black Brant from salterns way (per selsey blog). 7 Little Gulls at Littlehampton west beach golf course (per Bola Akinola). 3 Spoonbills still at Pagham Harbour (Bart Ives) 6 Bewicks Swans at Amberley and a stunning drake Goosander at Widewater lagoon (various sources) </span><br />

Reed Bunting, Bullfinch showed well and several Cetti's Warbler were heard around the site. Snipe were also on view from the scrape hide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sussex sightings elsewhere : Another poor day weatherwise and probably first day back to reality for many probably reflects on the lack of reports today, Little Gulls were still being seen with up to possibly 6 off selsey bill and another at St Leonard's on sea. Great northern divers were still at selsey (2) and weir wood reservoir (per Alastair Gray). A Spoonbill was present in Pagham harbour (per Alan Kitson & Miou Helps SoS website) The Glossy Ibis was still at Pett Levels and Bewick's Swans were still reported in the Arun valley</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A single drake <em>Eider</em> moving east was the first bird I clapped eyes on this morning and a couple of <em>Red-breasted Mergansers</em> milling around offshore other than that it was pretty quiet and strong winds and heavy rain stopped play</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sussex sightings elsewhere : 5 <em>Little Gulls</em> just W of Shoreham harbour late morning (per Dave Smith) 7 more seen at Pulborough beyond the south brooks (per Jon Winder) whilst another 8 were in Pagham Harbour, 4 more at selsey and 1 at Chichester marina(Selsey blog)</span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2nd January 2016 -</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Started early and headed to Arundel in the hope of seeing/hearing some owls. Very strong winds did not help alas no show of any owls so decided to have a quick look around Swanbourne Lake. <em>Firecrest's</em> were heard as soon as I entered the park with 2 birds seen and a small flock of <em>Siskin</em> flew over calling. 7 <em>Mandarin Duck</em> flew in with <em>Pochard</em>, <em>Gadwall</em> and <em>Tufted Duck</em> all present on the lake. A little further down Mill Road a <em>Kingfisher</em> was seen and a <em>Cetti's Warbler</em> sang. I popped down to Shoreham Harbour in the afternoon as there was a break in the weather and managed to glimpse 2 <em>Purple Sandpipers</em> and a <em>Rock Pipit</em> before a heavy downpour meant I hastily retreated to the car. At Widewater, several <em>Little Grebes</em> and a male <em>Kestrel</em> were seen and decided to check the sea once the rain had stopped which soon produced a sighting of a 1st winter <em>Little Gull</em> followed shortly after by an adult following the tideline. I then noticed a further 9 birds further out all moving purposely west which included 8 adult birds and a 1st winter. At Shoreham airport, a <em>Short-eared Owl</em> was seen being mobbed by 2 crows along the approach road at the southern end. Excellent hours birding with some totally un-expected birds!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sussex Sightings elsewhere - A Little Auk seen off Splash Point had to be bird of the day, Pett Level still hosted the Glossy Ibis with 5 White-fronted Geese also at this site. Little Gulls were also reported at Newhaven, Church Norton, Selsey Bill and Shoreham Harbour. Church Norton also had a Velvet Scoter and Merlin reported whilst a possible female Scaup was at Chichester gravel pits. Selsey Bill also had a single Arctic and Great Skuas. 6 Bewicks' Swans were still viewable from North Stoke nr Amberley. Pulborough Brooks had sightings of the wintering Dartford Warbler, Marsh Harrier, Short-eared Owl and Ruff. 4 Purple Sandpipers are still present at Shoreham (per Harry Ramm)</span><br />

Siberian Chiffchaffs still at Coldwaltham sewage works. Selsey sea-watchers were rewarded with sightings of Arctic and Great Skua's along with Slavonian Grebe and 3 Great-northern Divers(per Selsey Blog). Another Great-northern Diver was at weirwood reservoir</span><br />

A nice flock of c60 Linnet gathered in the field underneath the visitor centre and large numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare were along the trails leading down to the north brooks with the odd Chiff Chaff singing along the way. Out on the north brooks from the hangar still large number of winter duck with Teal, Wigeon, Shoveler and Pintail present still in good numbers, there was 4 plovers present very distant on the far pool and after some scrutiny 2 were Ringed whilst the other 2 were Little Ringed, slightly better views were gained from Jupps viewpoint where 9 Black-tailed Godwits and 2 Ruff were also seen. It was whilst I was here that the 'meow' call of the Mediterranean Gull was heard and looking above I was pleased to see 6 adults passing overhead quite high up with 4 Black-headed Gulls all heading north-east . 2 Ravens were also seen over the site. </span>nickbondsviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13156178121350093953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845568040770937741.post-8509137144660935102015-02-05T11:21:00.002-08:002015-02-05T11:21:43.506-08:00Review - January 2015<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not a bad start to the year, the <strong><span style="color: white;">Greater Yellowlegs</span></strong> at Titchfield Haven was seen after dashing over to Hampshire as soon as the news broke, good distant scope views were had (thanks to fellow Sussex birder Simon's use of his scope), the Yellowlegs was hanging around with a fairly mobile flock of Black-tailed Godwits that were being moved around by the nearby cattle. On one occasion, the bird was feeding up on a distant grass bank, totally in the open allowing study of all the features. This species has been very difficult to connect with over the last few years especially to my knowledge and as with this bird only staying for a day before moving on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <span style="color: white;"><strong>Kumlien's Gull</strong></span> returned to Littlehampton for it's second winter re-found by Bola around the 21st and managed to see the bird on the 24th, I always find either side of high tide good at the river-mouth whereas at low tide you are best searching further up-river at the Look and Sea centre...take some bread...a first winter Mediterranean Gull has been around also.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial;">3 Purple Sandpipers were seen at Shoreham Harbour on the 19th, not sure there has been higher numbers than this around this location this winter</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A nice Little Owl was seen in Arundel also on the 24th, whilst plenty of the usual species were encountered up at the Burgh the same morning. The fields below Burpham Church were full of winter thrushes including good numbers of Redwing and several Mistle Thrushes. Also saw 14 Song Thrushes together in one field with 23 Blackbirds...some sight! The Bewick's Swans numbers declined slightly as we moved through the month, the most I counted was 39 including 4 juvenilles, normally 4 Black Swan's with them but always a fair distance this year...this time last year all there feeding fields were under water! </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firecrests are still reliable in Arundel, especially around the Swanbourne Lake area.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Throughout the month, all the birding I did was within West Sussex apart from the dash west for the Greater Yellowlegs, below is some photo's I would like to share from my travels.....hoping to continue to get out more throughout February</span><br />

The A27 was very dangerous to drive on first thing and almost lost the car at the Arundel roundabout ! Not a gritter seen this morning which was very concerning. Upon reaching the peninsula, it was soon evident the snow was not a issue here so headed straight to the bill where I found Selsey regular Sam observing the sea.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sea was pretty choppy so was difficult to pick anything up on the sea, but with patience, <span style="color: white;">Great-northern Divers</span> were seen occasionally with at least 9 <span style="color: white;">Slavonian Grebes</span> drifted by very quickly! first picked up 2 birds, followed a little later by a group of 5 birds together, then another 2, all east to west. Good numbers of <span style="color: white;">Gannets</span> were feeding offshore, with the odd <span style="color: white;">Kittiwake</span> seen as small parties of auks, mainly <span style="color: white;">Razorbills</span> moved back and forth many too distant to confidently identify. A couple of adult winter <span style="color: white;">Mediterranean Gulls</span> fed closely on the tideline and 3 <span style="color: white;">Red-throated Divers</span> moved through west. There was enough happening to keep interest going throughout which was pleasing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I moved onto Church Norton, very rare these days to arrive and to be the only car in the car park! Maybe I was the only nutter brave enough to head out but again, plenty of birds to go through and a delightful male <span style="color: white;">Marsh Harrier</span> was picked up looking towards the North wall, putting up hundreds of birds including a nice flock of <span style="color: white;">Golden Plover</span>. This bird has been seen on and off in the harbour the last few days and here's hoping he hangs around. A <span style="color: white;">Peregrine</span> was seen on it's usual island, <span style="color: white;">Red-breasted Merganser's</span> and a single drake <span style="color: white;">Goldeneye</span> were seen out in the channel. Plenty of the usual waders were present, about 20 <span style="color: white;">Black-tailed Godwits</span> were hunkered on one of the islands, shame there was not many gulls to sort through.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next stop was Fishbourne creek, parking at Dell Quay and followed the footpath towards Fishbourne. Again, plenty of birds to sort through, very bitter and exposed here but was rewarded with the wintering <span style="color: white;">Whimbrel</span> which showed well, a distant <span style="color: white;">Spotted Redshank</span> was roosting with <span style="color: white;">Common Redshanks</span> and at least 7 <span style="color: white;">Goldeneyes</span> were in the channel. At least 12 <span style="color: white;">Yellowhammer</span> and 2 <span style="color: white;">Rock Pipits</span> added to the variety and had a good look through the c200 <span style="color: white;">Brent Geese</span> failed to produce a Black Brant (there has been one in the area). </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving in-land and a drive and opportunity to warm up before exploring West Dean woods. I was very surprised to find very few people around here probably resulting in the 2 <span style="color: white;">Little Owls</span> sitting out in the open and seen as soon as I pulled up in the car. A rather large finch flock was sorted through and soon found <span style="color: white;">Brambling</span> in amongst the <span style="color: white;">Chaffinch</span> here, very difficult to count as the finch's were constantly moving down to feed in the next field but included a stunning male bird. I also managed to find <span style="color: white;">Hawfinch</span> pretty easily, with at least 3 seen and probably more birds picked up by their call and generally being very vocal. <span style="color: white;">Marsh Tit</span> seemed to be everywhere here today and a visit here would not be complete without a good view of <span style="color: white;">Red Kite</span>. Heading back to Worthing, I decided to have another look at the returning <span style="color: white;">Kumlien's Gull</span> at Littlehampton, being low tide the bird was easily picked up on the west side of the river opposite the entrance to the golf club. By now the light had gone but still managed a couple of record shots, pretty much the first time the camera came out of the bag today! Good day all round without racking up too many miles.</span><br />

I started with a sea-watch off Worthing that was very quiet, several Gannets and Kittiwakes offshore and 7 Wigeon moved west, Red-breasted Mergansers moved back and forth but the sea was too choppy to see anything on the sea. Home to fix the car then after a few hours delay I felt safe enough to hit other sites</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Onto Arundel and covered Swanbourne Lake and the entrance to the WWT where it was nice to find a Chiff Chaff and Mandarin Duck amongst all the usual and expected species. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Siddlesham ferry pool was covered in birds, huge number of Lapwing and the splendid Tundra Bean Goose was in with the Brent and Canada Geese. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At Church Norton on the falling tide, the Ruddy Shelduck were visible distantly towards the North Wall, 2 Peregrines hunted over the harbour, a drake Goldeneye and several Red-breasted Mergansers were in the habour channel and the leucistic Curlew stood out in the winter sunshine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to head to Barnham Brooks on my way home and managed to eventually see the Whooper Swans in with the Mute Swans, they were tucked down low and out of view in the kale field, with patience they gave themselves up. Well worth the visit here as 2 Short-eared Owls put on a great show as they battled in mid-air and a pair of Stonechats wire fly-catching from the nearby reed bed. A good day out with 77 species seen with ease and would have surely been more without car trouble!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have also had a male Blackcap in our garden (1st Jan) and a female has been seen today(3rd) in Durrington (Worthing)</span>nickbondsviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13156178121350093953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845568040770937741.post-53689172815900425932014-09-01T14:15:00.002-07:002014-09-01T14:15:24.457-07:00Great White Egret - Arundel WWT - 1st September 2014<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">News filtered through whilst I was at work that a <strong>Great-white Egret</strong> was present at Arundel wetland centre, apparantley found on Sunday afternoon. Having started my new shift, I was free this afternoon to head over and have a look and after a bit of searching, we were in luck. 2 Kingfishers showed reasonably, many Gadwall and a couple of Teal on site too, large flock of hirundines gathered over the Arun attracting a local Sparrowhawk.</span><br />

Having gained flight views last week, I was more than happy to go back and try again for this fantastic bird and a very welcome one in Sussex. The bird has a habit of returning to the same beach on the east beach of Selsey just up from the lifeboat station at high tide. I decided to head there before and stake the area out as my daughter Robyn was with me too, I was keen for her to see the Skua too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Upon arrival, I could see some birders in the distance all looking down onto the beach and I could see the Skua on the shingle...surely it would stick until I got there...nope! The Skua flew out into the bay chasing some terns and that was that. We walked down to the area and hoped the Skua would make a quick return, which it didn't! Whilst scanning, a Peregrine was causing havoc flushing small waders off the beach, hirundines were passing through with Sand Martin's moving in number along with Swallows. Little, Common and Sandwich Terns were noted offshore and a Great-crested Grebe was on the sea..Robyn amused herself picking blackberries! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lady in front of me picked out a interesting bird that dropped onto the sea, I was soon onto it and watched this bird very distantly, banking round harassing a Sandwich Tern, it was the Long-tailed Skua! I followed it as it flew further out before banking around and heading inland before turning towards us. I managed to get the other gathered birders onto it and we followed it as it came closer, eventually plonking itself on the sea in front of us! Stunning ! It soon flew again and landed on the beach right underneath me, no need to move ! Plenty of smiles all round by the people present and Robyn got to see her first Long-tailed Skua! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few photo's were obtained not having to move, nor sneak up on my hands and knees! The bird was close enough ! One word to describe this bird....AWESOME</span><br />
