At Pagham Lagoon this afternoon, three male
Goldeneye and a female, fifty
Tufted Ducks and
Gulls various but nothing of great interest. In the Harbour, lots of birds:
Wigeon,
Great Black Backed Gulls,
Little Grebes,
Knot,
Dunlin, stacks of
Teal (there must be a
Green-winged Teal out there somewhere, last one at Pagham in 1995 astonishingly),
Great-crested Grebes,
Linnets,
Greenfinches, all the usual commoner waders and best of all a
Dartford Warbler along the Spit opposite Little Lagoon which didn't hang around for snaps unfortunately and nor can I blame it in the easterly wind; perhaps one of the Church Norton birds seen across the water a few days ago?
Goldeneye, duck:
Goldeneyes, drakes:
