More M43 practice.





































En route to and from Titchfield produced two Buzzards. Great, sunny spring weather for a half brekkie overlooking the harbour but not until the typically distant Frying Pan Spoonbill was added to the yearlist. Pretty much nothing else bar a glimpse of one harrier, five Avocets and, for the first time this year, the start of Med Gull movement and the accompaying 'yowing'.

Earlier a post from BTO gave details of Peregrine B84 at Pulborough from two years ago this month!!! Phil replied the day after the sighting and all recent Dutch, Danish and Polish BHG ring details plus local Sanderlings were returned with 24 hours. Come on BTO!!

Amazing bird up north - see here Shetland Tengmalm's
