Despite having spent what feels like most of this week either working or under the scalpel at the doctors (long story...) have managed to get out and about today and prospects looking good for the next couple of days too...well I shall be out anyway..the birds of course may not be at this time of year.

Had a look to see if the Iceland Gull of this time  last year had returned to Pagham Lagoon but, surprise, it hadn't but there were a few Goldeneye and four Red-Breasted Mergansers there; not much at North Wall at high tide but a few more Mergansers, Wigeon in the horse field and a few Reed Buntings about.
