Viz-mig

A few bits overhead at Selsey and at home recently, the best being two Hawfinches at the Bill, two over at home and also plenty of Redwings and a Tawny Owl at the latter. A Snow Bunting was at the Bill, on the east side, a Spoonbill flew over and the next day so did three Great White Egrets.

Along the shore were plenty of Spider Crabs and a large cartilage "backbone" possibly from a large Ray.

The SOS report 2025 came out and I made a few small and largely insignificant contributions to what was another nice tome, worth keeping it in this format IMHO rather than the considered abridged version.

On Sunday the highlight after a poor seawatch was a ringtail Hen Harrier into the WWT roost. Also four Marsh Harriers in, two Hawfinches over, a Tawny Owl and c.50 Cattle Egrets.
