- Having dipped yet again with the lesser spotted woodpecker in the Ashdown Forest this morning, I felt the need to find an easier species.
It was a toss up between Rye Harbour to see if I could get my first wheatear of the year or Pagham Harbour for garganey. Off to Chichester I went for the late afternoon/evening period.
- It didn't take long to locate the garganey - a drake was just disappearing into the reeds at the Breech Pool as I arrived. Not long afterwards another showed about 20 metres east.
With time to spare I thought I would end the day at Medmerry, parking at Easton Lane.
- The highlight was seeing a couple of little ringed plovers, several ringed plovers and a small number of avocets on the Stilt Pool.
A couple of hours well spent- in complete safety!
