I made a rare appearance at an SOS outing this morning and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Simon's report is copied in full below.
05 Mar 2025 | SOS mid-week walk at Pett Level |
Not surprisingly given the spring-like weather this Wednesday, there was a good turn-out for the mid-week walk from Toot Rock eastward along the shingle bank. The light was perfect for viewing Pett Level but the glare made watching both the sea and shore quite difficult. Eighteen members joined the walk including some familiar faces and others new to me (including one new member visiting from Tennessee who managed to see quite a few firsts!). In total, we saw 50 species. I think everyone had good views of Mediterranean Gull, Brent Goose, Marsh Harrier (at least two - photo of one), Grey Plover, Snipe and Red-throated Diver. Many thanks to all those that turned up but especially to John Gowers who kept the log of sightings and helped find species for those on the walk. ![]() posted by Simon Linington on 06 Mar 2025 12:36
