South Coast
DELL QUAY
- Started early at Dell Quay ahead of the incoming tide. Managed to spot the Whimbrel in it's usual place. Unable to find a Greenshank.
- Other highlights included a small flock (6+) of Yellowhammers, a Rock Pipit, loads of Brent Geese, Wigeon and Black-tailed Godwits.
NORTHNEY
- I relocated just over the border to Northney on Hayling Island in Hampshire where I soon spotted the Red-necked Grebe, my main target bird. Thankfully it was close to me by the marina slipway and I was able to get excellent views.
- Also present were a couple of Greenshanks - my target bird for Dell Quay.
Church Norton
- My final port of call was Church Norton back in West Sussex where among the usual waders there were a good number of Knot, another target bird for today.
Additions to BUBO 2016 UK Year List:
Whimbrel (139)
Red-necked Grebe (140)
Greenshank (141)
Knot (142)
A great day out - even managed to listen to England beat South Africa in the second ODI!
