On February 7th I visited Pagham Harbour following a report of a pair of Bearded Tits seen at the Breech Pool the previous day. Instead I saw thousands of Brent Geese flying over - heading seawards in the morning and returning in the afternoon. A flock of around a hundred Curlews arrived on the grassland, with some Godwits among them, not sure which species. There were many Widgeon on the mudflats and also some Lapwings. A Cormorant arrived and a Corn Bunting appeared briefly.
