Autumn

Three Curlew Sandpipers on the east side at Pagham yesterday means I have seen quite a few this autumn but sadly I haven't been able to find anything more interesting on the wader front. No Wrynecks or Shrikes for me either this autumn and just the one Yellow-browed Warbler..Melodious/Icterine/Barred Warblers on the Selsey Peninsula, and West Sussex in general, also appear to be a thing of the past. When was the last good warbler in West Sussex? Pallas's at Church Norton? Bonelli's? No doubt I am overlooking something somewhere though. Still, the 9th of October and just maybe....
