GORING GAP: The best migrant during my walk around Goring Gap was a
Spotted Flycatcher in the hedge by the sports field. Other grounded migrants were in short supply, with two
Wheatears, just five
Willow Warblers, a couple of
Blackcaps and three
Whitethroats - the latter two species quite possibly still represented by locals. A total of 16
Sand Martins and a
Swallow flew west. Birds on the beach included 27
Little Egrets, 15
Oystercatchers, 26
Ringed Plovers, 39
Turnstones, 10 adult
Sanderlings, four
Dunlin and singles of
Mediterranean Gull,
Common Gull and juvenile
Lesser Black-backed Gull. A glance out to sea revealed a
Fulmar, three
Gannets and seven
Sandwich Terns.
