GORING GAP: I didn't bother looking at the sea and just did a circuit of the Gap. Overhead 145 Goldfinches trickled east, including one or two Siskins calling among them. 15 Chaffinches went the same way. A Firecrest was by the pumping station, with another in the northwest corner, along with a Blackcap and a Chiffchaff. 12 Goldcrests were dotted around and an unploughed area attracted 22 Skylarks, six Meadow Pipits and 29 Linnets. 10 Pied Wagtails and 220 Starlings were also feeding in the fields. The Treecreeper announced its presence in The Plantation. Five Mediterranean Gulls were logged, along with an increase to 50 loafing Common Gulls, though few waders were around, with a quick look at the beach and the roost field around high tide revealing just 12 Ringed Plovers, three Dunlin and two Turnstones.

BROOKLANDS PARK : The Pallas's Warbler is still present in Brooklands Park Worthing for its third day . In the northern section of the park in the copse in the middle of the cycle track. Extremely elusive often disappearing for long periods and then only being seen briefly feeding amongst the willow copse. Plenty of observers around a great deal of patience is required. In the copse there are many Goldcrest with a few Chiffchaff and mixed tit flock. I did find a very grey looking Chiffy that rapidly disappeared. 2 Redpoll flew over the park this morning BFF
