Wheatear

The first Wheatear of the "autumn" was a nice find at Selsey Bill this morning along with three Common Sandpipers together and a Sanderling on the beach; two Sparrowhawks way offshore was also unusual. 

At Church Norton little of note other than a Mistle Thrush in the churchyard and a Lesser Whitethroat and a Willow Warbler along the hedges. 

Yesterday, two pale-phase Arctic Skuas were offshore at the Bill and I also picked out a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull in the feeding flock.
