Great White Egret

Another poor day at Selsey Bill with only a flock of c.30 Common Scoter offshore of note. Along the east side at Pagham were most of the Sussex birding community plus a Lesser Black-backed Gull, a Yellow-legged Gull and two Curlew Sandpipers at the far end; four more of the latter from the sluice makes six present in the area altogether if my maths is correct (one more at Church Norton yesterday could be seven I suppose!).

Having missed the Great White Egret on the Breech Pool a few times it was good to see it back today.

Common Scoter, LBB Gull, YL Gull, Curlew Sands, Grey Heron & GWE and GWE Nessie impression today:







Moths this morning included our first Bulrush Wainscott and a Pebble Hook-Tip:
