On Thursday during a visit to Arundel WWT I saw Kingfisher
outside the Scrape hide and Manadarin Ducks on the pond.
On Saturday I visited West Wittering beach where I found Skylarks feeding on the grass. First I saw three, then four and finally a couple
of dozen flew in. Two Stonechats were on the beach by the dunes. Thousands of Brent Geese
screemed and wheeled around in the sky like a murmuration of starlings.
On Sunday I called in at Climping beach and spotted a
Mediterranean Gull and a Sanderling with Oystercatchers and Turnstones. Two
Stonechats displayed on bushes and fence posts. One hovered in the air several
times.
