Avocets, Recurvirostra avosetta |
The past two days I have been dodging the cloud bursts. I visited the
Sand Martin hide at Arundel WWT on Tuesday. As soon as I arrived the kingfisher landed on a low post in front of the hide, saw me move, then flew off.
Yesterday I visited Pagham Harbour at Church Norton and the RSPB area. The Sidlesham Ferry Pool had Avocets and Black-tailed Godwits which came close to the road. Swallows were feeding over the harbour water and a large flock of cormorants were grouped on the distant sand.

Hi Colin. Sorry to hear your news, but at least it sounds like it is caught at an early stage which is very good news as such!! Most blokes avoid the Dr at their peril but you have been very sensible.
