Cattle Egrets

 A look for a pair of Mandarin Ducks at South Mundham didn't turn them up but c.60 Cattle Egrets and c.40 young Mallards were in the area.

At Rectory Lane and thereabouts c.100 Red-legged Partridges were on the fields, about to meet the firing squad of doom no doubt, and, at Selsey Bill, a Spotted Flycatcher was with the Chiffchaffs at Grafton Road.

At Mill Lane Marsh a Greenshank was present early on a couple of Stonechats were at Halsey's Farm where a Hobby went over.

Cattle Egrets: Mallards (hopefully not bred to be shot!); Red-legged Partridges: Spotted Flycatcher & Chiffchaff:
