TH

With tomorrow being 30 of 30DWiJ, and being a stay at home day for chores etc, a few hours at Titchfield today was the last option for the month.

Highlight by far was the sight of two very fresh juvenile Marsh Harriers in company of the adult female so first ever breeding on site. The two Common Tern chicks are growing but a nearby BHG chick was less lucky being gulped down by a LBbG. The Oystercatcher also has one chick but again looks vulnerable. Similar numbers of Avocet and mixed plumage BTGs, some very bright and smart. Offshore Mark pointed out two young Eiders which gradually slipped west.
