South Marsh, West Wittering
I only had time for a morning twitch today so I made the overdue trip to West Wittering to see the Spoonbills at South Marsh. It was hard to miss them as they stood proud on a small island, bracing themselves against the breeze.
Other than the "usual suspects" there was little else to see on the marsh or on East Head - it was low tide so it wasn't the best time for a visit.
Water Woods, Arundel
Having a little time to spare, I visited the Water Woods at Arundel to look for Firecrests. As on previous visits the activity was very close to the two bungalows at the entrance to the woods. I managed to get good views, in the binoculars, of one of the Firecrests and also one of the Goldcrests.
A fair bit of travelling meant that both my visits were "short and sweet" but the birds seen were immense.
