Surprise bird of the day was a Sandwich Tern that came close in past Selsey Bill early afternoon as I was packing up; no picture sadly as the camera was safely stashed. Otherwise it was as follows:
Great Northern Diver x 5 on sea 1145 onwards
Red-breasted Merganser x 2 e 1148
Red-breasted Merganser four on sea 1151
Red-throated Diver e 1207
Red-throated Diver e 1210
Red-throated Diver e 1212
Red-throated Diver e 1217
Sandwich Tern e 1228
At Medmerry west, the Spoonbill was still viewable in the middle of the reserve, eight Avocets were on the Stilt pools and there were quite a few commoner birds around. Gulls included Common, Mediterranean & Black-headed. At the east side only the Black Redstart and a Rock Pipit were of note.
