A stroll around prior to 'essential shopping' found two very noisy Peregrines and the first chance to 'engage with the public' for months and, with Chichester being out of bounds, this was ideal. And without too much 'non-exercise loitering' a few photos were possible. It wasn't until I downloaded them that I realised this male was ringed and within a few minutes GR responded confirming it as a four year old Chichester bird ringed in May of 2016. Result!!
A short but proper walk later found the Swan with cygnets, presumably hatched in the previous 24 hours but too hunkered down to count and two broods of Coot of five each. Whilst photographing Red Admirals hasn't been a problem this Holly Blue was the first to sit up this spring and this unidentifiable female Pipiza was a nice change from the commoner hoverflies. Andrena fulva and male Osmia bicornis were the best of bees.
A brief glimpse of one or two Peregrines, overflying Med Gulls, crows alerting to a very high Buzzard and Hairy-foots was it for 'stay at home Sunday'.
Edit A look out at dusk for satellites showed at least four bats presumably Pipistrelle spp.
And Monday , with five minutes at the FM carpark on the way back from the GP, saw Curlew, Whimbrel and the first Redshank of lockdown but well off patch so not countable!!
