A few hours of 'urban' birding within a three mile radius (as the crow flies) of home, starting at Southsea, on to the harbour mouth at Eastney ending up with three quarters of an hour at the Farlington lake viewpoint.
Some decent birds with Great Northern Diver (2), Red-throated Diver, Purple Sandpiper (4), Eider (8), Avocet (46+), Pintail (80) and Jack Snipe plus various new-for-year common birds. Sadly no Shorties nor Beardies and, in fact, not a single raptor.
Above the Eastney Rock Pipit, the nearest(!) GND and some of the Avocets with 'urban' background.
Sixteen NfYs today taking total to 83.
