Chichester Twitch for Slavonian Grebe and Red-breasted Merganser

26th January 2026 - Chichester

My first stop was the Platinum Jubilee Country Park in Chichester, where I went to twitch the Slavonian Grebe that has been lingering in this rather unusual habitat for several days. True to form, the grebe was showing well, accompanied by a few Mute Swans nearby.

With time to spare, I moved on to Dell Quay to scan the high tide for mergansers, grebes, and divers. The only species that obliged were Red‑breasted Mergansers, with at least two pairs giving excellent views




New species for the 2026 Year List:

103 Slavonian Grebe

104 Red-breasted Merganser
