Black Sheep of the Family
Rainbow-Black Sheep of the Family
A surprise Black Brant at Chichester marina today with thirty Dark-bellied Brents (maybe a couple of Pale-bellied Brents too but I didn't concentrate too much on them)-just pulled over to scope the flock and there it was, easy for a change. Not much of note on Birdham Pool or Fishbourne Creek but a pair of Stonechats there were nice and there was a nice mix of birds on the flood by the sluice.

At Lidsey SF, the Siberian Chiffchaff was still there along with the usual Chiffchaffs and Pied Wagtails; I'm hoping for some better light there so I can get some further pictures.
