I gave Lidsey another going over this morning and found a nice little route through the fields at the back of the sewage farm which has tons of potential, hopefully something good will turn up here. Today there were as usual plenty of
Chiffchaffs around the site, unusually by the entrance and the tree avenue rather than the far hedgerow, unfortunately I couldn't turn up any
Yellow-Browed Warblers amongst them but their time will surely come! Also around the SF, plenty of
Pied Wagtails, a single
Grey Wagtail and a charm of
Goldfinches. A
Red Kite also drifted over and the usual
Starlings were around the filter beds.

Just as I was on the verge of tracking down that elusive
YBW (!) I had a text from SR telling me that the
White-Fronted Goose I'd been looking for yesterday was on the stilt pools at Medmerry. I arrived to find that AH had beaten me to it and a discussion on the bird's provenance ensued. It certainly didn't appear to be over-tame and is unringed; perhaps it is last year's bird returning, the bird from Cuckmere that never left or a new bird that came in with the
Brent Geese?
